There is an important recall for anyone who has an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk. Vanilla Almond Breeze Almond Milk, a popular substitute for cow’s milk, was recalled by its distributor this week. The reason for the recall is that it may contain actual milk, which is not clearly listed on the label.
The Food and Drug Administration has reported that the product is only dangerous for those who are allergic or severely sensitive to dairy products. So far, there has only been one report of an allergic reaction to the Almond Breeze product.
The recall applies to products with a use-by date of September 2, 2018. All other use-by dates are clear of any real milk as an ingredient.
