Health Risk Explained

• Milk is one of the most common food allergens, and reactions can occur even with small amounts.
• When a person with a milk allergy consumes a product containing milk proteins, the immune system can react unexpectedly.
• Symptoms may include hives, swelling of the lips or face, digestive discomfort, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Some individuals may also experience wheezing or difficulty breathing due to airway irritation. In more serious cases, milk allergies can lead to a rapid, severe reaction that requires urgent medical attention.
• For people with lactose intolerance, symptoms are typically milder and may involve bloating, cramps, or diarrhea as the body struggles to digest lactose. Because the severity of reactions varies widely, avoiding undeclared allergens is critical for consumer safety.
