Can almond milk that has an OU be used on Peach? The almond milk that is labeled kosher for peach has some undesirable ingredients besides almonds in it (such as carrageenan), and I would rather not use it. 

The regular OU almond milks tend to contain kitniyot derivatives such as sunflower lecithin. In a case of extenuating health circumstances, e.g. a person is lactose intolerant, needs to have milk of some kind, and carrageenan makes this person ill, the regular OU version would be fine (i.e. the practice to avoid kitniyot would be set aside). It sounds to me though, that while you have a preference to avoid carrageenan, it doesn't present a health issue, in which case I'd recommend that you go with OU/P product for Pesach.
