Lehigh Valley Dairy announces orange juice recall

    Lehigh Valley Dairy is voluntarily recalling orange juice because it may contain milk, a common allergen.

    The Food and Drug Administration said the recall Thursday affects multiple brands distributed to both retail and food-service locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.

    The affected brands and sizes are Lehigh Valley half pints, half gallons and gallons; Swiss Premium half gallons and gallons, and Price Chopper gallons.

    The Allentown-based dairy said due to a manufacturing error, milk became mixed with the orange juice.

    Lehigh Valley Dairy said consumers should discard the product and return the packaging to the place of purchase for a refund or exchange.
