Nearly 80k pounds of butter recalled because of missing label "contains milk"

But isn't it incredibly clear when you're buying cow milk, vs. alternative "milks"?

I can understand how people with a dairy allergy might want to double-check an alternative milk to make sure it doesn't contain any real milk, or was processed in a bottling facility that also processes dairy milk, or something like that...

But it's hard for me to see how people with a dairy allergy might want to double-check the regular milk...?

I don't think we should be relying on the good 'ol "it's common sense" approach for allergies when complying is so simple.

Then how about alternatives like Lactaid? Animal-free dairy milk?

As someone else said, is what makes people happy here making the regulations more complex with special cases - when someone not knowing those special cases could potentially kill them?

Lactose-free cow milk is a perfect edge case, because something like that is safe if you're lactose intolerant, but not if you have a dairy allergy. So the fine print really does matter.
