Sacramento, Ca. — Blue Diamond has voluntarily recalled more than 145,000 half-gallon cartons of almond milk because they may contain dairy milk, a possible allergen not listed on the label.
The affected cartons were shipped to 28 states, and later recalled from retailers and wholesalers in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin, per the press release.
The recall only applies to refrigerated Vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk with a use-by date of September 2, 2018, and a UPC barcode of 41570 05621 (located on the side panel of the carton next to the nutrition facts). According to the press release, the recalled cartons represents less than .8% of the half-gallon containers of Vanilla Breeze almond milk shipped by Hood in the last year.
The almond milk is safe to consume unless you have a milk allergy or sensitivity. There has been one report of an allergic reaction, but medical treatment or hospitalization was not required.
If you’ve purchased the recalled milk, you can return it where you bought it for a full refund or exchange, or visit Blue Diamond’s website to complete a web form.
