The Hampton Grocer, Inc. is voluntarily recalling its Lacnola Lactation Granola in 8-ounce bags due to concerns of potential Salmonella contamination. The recall impacts all Lacnola products distributed since October 23, 2025, which were available for purchase through the company's website and online retailers including Amazon.
The recall was initiated because an ingredient used in the granola, organic moringa powder supplied by Food to Live, was part of a separate recall due to potential Salmonella contamination. The Hampton Grocer stated on Instagram that neither Lacnola nor the specific moringa powder used have tested positive for the bacteria, and no illnesses have been reported in connection with the product. The company has ceased sales of Lacnola and paused production as a precautionary measure.
This action is being taken out of an abundance of caution. The recalled products have expiration dates of October 21, 2026, and February 13, 2027. The affected lot numbers are HGLC-102125 and HGLC-021326, with a universal product code (UPC) of 850035324554. Consumers who purchased the affected granola are advised not to consume it, to request a refund from The Hampton Grocer, and to discard the product.
Food To Live had previously recalled its organic moringa powder and other products after the FDA notified the company that a sample of its Organic Supergreens Mix tested positive for Salmonella. The origin of the contamination has not yet been confirmed.
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes life-threatening illness. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Individuals at higher risk for severe illness include young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. In rare cases, Salmonella can spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and other parts of the body, potentially leading to severe infections like endocarditis, osteomyelitis, or meningitis, which require antibiotic treatment. Some individuals may also experience long-term complications such as reactive arthritis or post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome.
