Urgent Recall: Contaminated Milk Pulled from Shelves Across Louisiana
We need to be extremely aware of this large recall every day when we shop for groceries this week. Recalls appear to be happening more frequently these days. For instance, we just learned of a significant apple juice recall because the juice had amounts of arsenic over what was considered safe.
I find it absurd that there is even an FDA-approved threshold for permissible levels of arsenic, but what can I say?
It seems that yet another widely consumed beverage is being recalled, and this time the reason is because an unauthorized ingredient was introduced.
A Massive Milk Recall Has Been Issued For 27 States, Including Louisiana
The chances are that you either know someone who like milk or you at least have it on hand for cooking, even if you're not a great fan.
Many Lactaid milk products are being recalled, according to the FDA, because of an additional component that isn't disclosed on the label.
The manufacturer, HP Hood, LLC, is recalling the 96-ounce containers of Lactaid whole milk, 1% milk, and 2% calcium fortified Lactaid.
Why Is Lactaid Milk Being Recalled In 27 States, Including Louisiana?
It appears that the cause is an extra element that isn't on the ingredient list and shouldn't be in the milk.
It may not seem like a big concern, but if you're allergic to almonds and drink Lactiad, you should be aware that small quantities of almonds may have found their way into the product.
Customers are asked to return Lactaid to the place of purchase in order to get a refund. The recalled medication was sent to shops between September 5 and September 18.
Although there haven't been any instances of sickness thus far, it's still rather worrisome for someone who consumes dairy-free milk products.
