Reported risk: Health Canada is warning Canadians with milk allergies not to use several brands of unauthorized acidophilus-containing health products labelled as “non-dairy” because they contain trace amounts of milk protein from dairy ingredients used in the production process. Individuals with milk allergies can experience a variety of symptoms when exposed to even small amounts of milk proteins, including breathing difficulties which in some cases can become fatal. Health Canada is aware of a Canadian case of anaphylactic reaction possibly associated with the use of one of these products.
