Unlisted amounts of almonds prompt LACTAID Milk recall

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Certain containers of LACTAID Milk sold in Connecticut are being recalled due to trace amounts of almonds, according to the Connecticut Department of Public Health on Monday.

Health officials say HP Hood LLC voluntarily recalled the product due to the serious or life-threatening consequences of almond not being listed on the label for those who are allergic.
