Almond Milk Recalled In Ohio For Containing Real Milk

HP Hood LLC is voluntarily recalling 145,000 cartons of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla Almond Milk due to the presence of milk. The cartons were sold in 28 states, including Ohio. That ultimately means that a milk product is being recalled for containing real milk.

Why the recall? Anyone who has an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk runs the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products, according to the Federal Food & Drug Administration.

The recall only applies to cartons of refrigerated Vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk with a use-by date of Sept. 2. The cartons are safe to drink if you don't have a milk allergy, according to the FDA.

The cartons were shipped to several states besides Ohio, including Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
