HP Hood LLC has issued a voluntary recall for multiple types of Lactaid milk due to the presence of undeclared almond traces. The recall affects 96-ounce containers of Lactaid whole milk, 2% milk, 1% milk, fat-free milk, and 2% calcium-enriched milk sold between September 5 and September 18, 2024. The products were distributed to retailers and wholesalers in 27 U.S. states, including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall after routine maintenance by the manufacturer revealed trace amounts of almonds in the products. Almonds are not listed on the packaging, posing a risk to individuals with almond allergies. No illnesses have been reported as of Monday.
The affected products carry the code “51-4109 P2” and a series of “best by” dates, which can be found at the top of the containers. Consumers who purchased the recalled milk are encouraged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or exchange. Those with questions can contact HP Hood Consumer Affairs at 800-242-2423.
