The importance of reading food labels

This recall is a reminder of the importance of reading food labels carefully, especially if you have any food allergies. Milk is one of the eight most common food allergens, and it can cause serious reactions in some people. Symptoms of a milk allergy can include hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis.

If you think you may have a food allergy

If you think you may have a food allergy, it is important to see a doctor to get tested. There are blood tests and skin tests that can help to diagnose food allergies. Once you know what foods you are allergic to, you can avoid them and prevent allergic reactions.
