On Sept. 19, HP Hood LLC initiated a voluntary recall of five SKUs of 96-oz LACTAID Milk due to potential contamination with trace amounts of almond, an allergen not declared on the product label. The recall impacts consumers with almond allergies, who may face severe or life-threatening reactions if they consume the affected products.

Although no illnesses have been reported, the recall was initiated after routine maintenance revealed the risk of almond contamination.
