The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that a Massachusetts company has issued a voluntary recall for several kinds of Lactaid milk because the products may contain trace amounts of almond, which is an undeclared item.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds risk having a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. No illnesses have been reported to date.
