A representative from the company told CBS News that the company where the almond milk is manufactured also manufactures dairy milk.

HP Hood is a Lynnfield, Massachusetts based dairy manufacturing company that also handles the production of Blue Diamond's Almond Breeze.

"Although the almond milk is processed on a separate line and filler and we confirmed that the allergen control protocol all standard validation testing was conducted in accordance with our allergen control program, this particular batch of almond milk was contaminated with one container of milk through an employee error," the representative said in an email.
