The Recall Is for a Granola Product
As reported by Fox Business, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the recall notice on Aug. 14, after the possible contamination was discovered.
An ingredient in certain 8-ounce packages of Lacnola Lactation Granola, manufactured by the New York-based company The Hampton Grocer, Inc., was linked to a positive Salmonella test.
"The Hampton Grocers, Inc. of Montauk, NY is recalling Lacnola Lactation Granola, 8oz, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems," the announcement read.
Production of the product is currently paused. While there have been no confirmed illnesses in connection with the recall, the company and the FDA are investigating what happened.
How Do I Know If I Purchased an Affected Product?
The packages of Lacnola Lactation Granola affected by the recall were sold on The Hampton Grocer's website between Oct. 21, 2025, and Aug. 12, 2026. They were also sold nationwide on Amazon and other online retailers.
The product comes in a pink pouch with the following UPC: 850035324554. They have the following lot codes and expiration dates printed in black ink on the upper-left side of the back of the package:
- HGLC-102125, expiration date Oct. 21, 2026
- HGLC-021326, expiration date Feb. 13, 2027
The possible contamination was discovered after a supplier said one of its products tested positive for Salmonella. The Lacnola Lactation Granola contained the same moringa powder as the recalled product.
Those who bought the affected product are told to throw it away. They can also contact the place of purchase to receive a full refund.
This news comes as Maryland-based Kettle Cusine issued a recall for 3,240 tomato soup kits after a positive Listeria test. The affected products were sold exclusively at Walmart.
According to the Mayo Clinic, salmonella is a bacterium that causes infections. It is caused "by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, and eggs or egg products, or by drinking unpasteurized milk."
Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, usually starting within 8 hours to 3 days after exposure.
While it can be life-threatening, most healthy people recover within a few days to a week without seeking medical help.
