Important! milk allergic kids - Silk soymilk recall warning
I saw this on a FA support website:
ALLERGY ALERT ON UNDECLARED DAIRY IN 11-OUNCE SINGLE SERVE SILK SOYMILK CHOCOLATE FLAVOR IN PLASTIC BOTTLES
Mount Crawford, Virginia (April 23, 2008) - WhiteWave Foods Company is voluntarily recalling 11-ounce plastic single serve bottles of Silk Soymilk Chocolate Flavor because it may contain undeclared milk protein. The individual bottles are printed with both a “use by” date of May 7, 2008 (printed as 05 07 08) and a Universal Product Code (UPC) of 2529360028. Consumers can find this information on the back of the individual bottle.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk protein run the risk of a health problem or illness if they consume this product. Some reactions have been reported.
This affected product was distributed nationwide and reached consumers through retail and foodservice outlets. WhiteWave’s sales team is working with distributors to actively recover any affected product remaining on store shelves.

Actually, its important for people to know that if someone has a dairy allergy, they tend to have soy allergies as well.....

Cathy - do you mean because of the shared lines? it's so scary to fully trust anything you give to your FA kid. Emily is anaphylatic to dairy so this is very unsettling. But thank god, so far so good with the regular silk soymilk cartons. maybe now they'll be a bit more diligent with checking batches here and there for trace dairy.

A lot of the soy yogurts, cheeses, etc. have caesin in them, which is derived from milk. The King Kullen by me carries a few yogurts that have no dairy in them, but not one type of cheese, not even tofu cheese. It's so frustrating.

ah - I follow now. Yep, I found that a lot with the brands at Whole Foods. The "organic" stuff like Amy's pizza is soy cheese but has casein in it - not helping!
But Toffuti cheese is good - all dairy free. I buy it at my KK. for yogurt, we buy WholeSoy. but Emily doesn't really like it anymore.
ETA - but the Silk soymilk isn't supposed to have any dairy in it - they list it as a vegan item on their packaging. But this incident was with chocolate milk so maybe it was the chocolate additive that had the dairy in it.
