A milk allergy is when the body has an immune response to a milk protein. Milk, dairy and casein need to be avoided with a milk allergy. A product may claim to be non-dairy but could have trace amounts of milk proteins. Ingredient labels must be read carefully. For more information on milk allergies visit www.foodallergy.org.
