FDA Bans This Dangerous Ingredient Found in Arizona Foods

Why This Matters

Most people have no trouble consuming milk or milk products, but for anyone with milk allergies or severe sensitivities, ingesting this mix could lead to serious or even life-threatening allergic reactions.

A milk allergy can cause symptoms from mild hives to severe anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a reaction where blood pressure suddenly drops and the airways narrow, which blocks breathing.

For anyone with this allergy, avoiding this product if you’re allergic to milk is crucial.
