Lactaid Milk recalled in 27 states for almond exposure

(NewsNation) — Lactaid, a lactose-free dairy milk, has been recalled in 27 states after possible exposure to almonds, posing a risk to those with tree nut allergies.

Massachusetts-based dairy company HP Hood voluntarily issued the recall Friday on 96-ounce containers of Lactaid Milk that were shipped to certain retailers and wholesalers from Sept. 5 through Sept. 18. The products include whole, 1%, 2%, fat-free and 2% calcium-enriched milk.


Almonds are not listed on the label, but the recalled products may have contained trace amounts of the nut, according to the company’s recall announcement.

No illnesses have been reported.

The recall only applies to products with the code 51-4109 P2 paired with specific “best by dates,” which can be found on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration website. The FDA posts companies’ announcements involving recalls or safety alerts as a courtesy.

The states in which the contaminated milk was sold include Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

The parent company of LACTAID Milk issued a recall on some of its products sold between Sept. 5, 2024 and Sept. 18, 2024 across 27 states. The image shows an example of one of the recalled products.
