The statement lists 2 ingredients at the top level, beginning with Pasteurized Grade a 2% Reduced Fat Milk, Live and Active Cultures.. It has no separate "Contains" line; a major allergen (the nine the FDA requires on labels: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame) may be named inside the ingredients instead. For allergies, read the package: this is the record USDA holds (updated Apr 23, 2026), not the label on the shelf today.
