The problem?

Almonds are not listed on the label, which could spell trouble for anyone with an almond allergy. Tree nuts are one of the top allergens, and FDA regulations require that any food containing allergens like nuts be properly labeled. This slip-up is no small deal for those who are allergic to nuts!

The recall affects 96-ounce containers of Lactaid milk that were shipped to retailers across 27 states between September 5 and September 18. If you've got Lactaid in your fridge, check for the code 51-4109 P2 on the top center of the jug, just to be safe.
