The hazard: Undeclared milk

The product contains milk that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids milk, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Why it matters: The label does not declare milk, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What the company announced

PlantBased Innovations, of Leominster, MA, is recalling Higher Harvest by H-E-B Dairy-Free Coconut Yogurt, Strawberry flavor because the product may contain undeclared almond. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The recalled product was distributed to H-E-B and shipped on November 24, 2025, through H-E-B distribution centers and retail grocery stores in Texas.

The recalled product was sold by H-E-B packaged in 5.3 oz plastic yogurt cups with foil lids, with a Best By date of January 2, 2026, (Best By: 01/02/26) printed on the bottom of the cup.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after a customer complaint revealed that product containing almond was distributed in packaging that did not declare the presence of almond.

Consumers who have purchased the affected product and have an almond allergy or sensitivity should not consume the product. Consumers who may have purchased the affected product are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of it safely.

Consumers with questions may contact PlantBased Innovations at 978-600-0904, Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM EST, or by email at [email protected] .

What to do about Milk

Higher Harvest by H-E-B — The product contains milk that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids milk, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids milk, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  3. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  4. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who may have purchased the affected product are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of it safely.
