Milk Allergy Alert: Undeclared milk in Silk Soymilk

Now this alert is very unusual, and caught my attention this late in the day!

One, because it’s a major brand. Two, because it’s undeclared milk in chocolate soymilk, which made me wonder how that actually got contaminated. Three, because my daughter drinks this brand.
