Thousands of Almond Breeze milk cartons recalled for containing dairy

HP Hood, the manufacturer of Almond Breeze almond milk, recalled 145,254 half-gallon cartons of the milk alternative this week.

“Milk inadvertently was entered into the processing equipment for almond milk,” HP Hood spokeswoman Lynne Bohan told the Huffington Post.

The milk-containing milk-alternative was shipped to 28 US states, from New York to Oklahoma. The company says it is safe to drink, unless you have a dairy allergy.

Only one person has reported an allergic reaction stemming from the mix-up so far, according to a statement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). No medical treatment was required.

The recall only applies to half-gallons of refrigerated Vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk with a use-by date of 2 September 2018. The affected products have a Universal Product Code of 41570 05621 printed on the side panel of the carton, next to the nutritional facts.
