I find this message VERY DISTURBING! We have what I believed to be one of the most comprehensive listings of synonyms for milk proteins, along with processing agents which we should stay clear of due to life-threatening milk allergies! We have consumed products on many occasions with Carrageenan as an ingredient, with no adverse affects. Have we just been lucky? Can anyone else support this claim. In the meantime I will research it on my own.
