Mislabeling of Milk Product Leads to Recall Due to Allergens

Urban Remedy, a CA-based, organic juice company is recalling its Golden Milk product that was labeled as apple juice.  The product is sold through Whole Foods.

Golden milk is a nut based product, like an almond milk, so it would have nut allergens.  With so many products (https://www.urbanremedy.com/) that look the same, label control is extremely important, especially in a case like this where a nut-based product can be mislabeled.
