Some half-gallon cartons of refrigerated Vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk are being recalled because they may contain actual milk not listed on the label. Some people may be allergic to it and it could be life-threatening.
The Food and Drug Administration says the milk is safe to drink unless you have a milk allergy or sensitivity. One person reportedly had an allergic reaction but did not need medical treatment.
