The recall affects granola distributed through the company’s website and other online retailers, including Amazon, between October 21, 2025, and August 12, 2026. No illnesses connected with the product have been reported, according to the Food and Drug Administration, while production has been suspended as the company and federal regulators investigate the source of the potential contamination.
Supplier Testing Prompted the Nationwide Recall
The possible contamination came to light after an ingredient supplier informed The Hampton Grocers that a sample of one of its products had tested positive for Salmonella. The affected ingredient was organic moringa powder, which is also used in Lacnola Lactation Granola.
According to reports, the company identified the supplier as Food to Live, which recalled its Organic SuperGreens Powder Mix after the product tested positive for the bacteria. That mixture contained organic moringa leaf powder, the same ingredient incorporated into the recalled granola.
The FDA recall notice identifies the affected products as lot HGLC-102125, with an expiration date of 21OCT2026, and lot HGLC-021326, with an expiration date of 13FEB2027. Both are sold in pink 8-ounce stand-up pouches carrying UPC 850035324554. The lot numbers and expiration dates are printed in black ink on the upper-left portion of the back of each bag.
Consumers who purchased either lot have been advised to dispose of the granola and contact the place of purchase for a full refund. The company said production of the product has been suspended while its investigation with the FDA continues.
Samantha Sherman, founder of The Hampton Grocer, told Business Insider that receiving a recall notice can be “jarring,” particularly for parents. She said the recall would have a significant financial effect on the small business but that maintaining customer trust was more important than inventory or sales.
Salmonella Can Cause Serious Illness in Some People
Salmonella infection can produce fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. According to the FDA, diarrhea can sometimes be bloody, while rare cases may result in the bacteria entering the bloodstream and causing more severe conditions, including arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis. Healthy people can also become ill after infection, although the recall notice does not report any confirmed illnesses associated with Lacnola Lactation Granola.
The granola had been promoted as a product intended to support lactation and provide minerals for postpartum health, according to Gray News. It was sold to customers across the country through online ordering rather than through a limited regional distribution network.
The recall follows other food-safety actions reported during the summer. Earlier in August, Taylor Farms recalled packaged products containing jalapeños, including salsa and guacamole, because of possible Salmonella contamination. In July, a multistate Cyclospora outbreak was linked to salad-related products including iceberg lettuce, and Taylor Farms removed iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from sale in the United States.
