Recall - The Hampton Grocer (Granola) produced by The Hampton Grocer, Inc. - Potential to be Contaminated with Salmonella

Summary

Company Announcement

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. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Lacnola Lactation Granola was distributed nationwide through mail orders on thehamptongrocers.com, and other online retailers (Amazon) between October 21, 2025 and August 12th, 2026.

The recalled Lacnola Lactation Granola from The Hampton Grocers, Inc. is packaged in a pink 8oz stand up pouch, with UPC: 850035324554. The affected lot codes are:

• Lot HGLC-102125 with expiration date of 21OCT2026
• Lot HGLC-021326 with expiration date of 13FEB2027

Lot codes and expiration dates appear on the back of the bags on the upper left side, printed in black ink.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this product.

The potential for contamination was realized upon notification from an ingredient supplier that a sample of one of their products tested positive for Salmonella. The affected product contains an ingredient, organic moringa powder, also used in the Lacnola Lactation Granola.

Production of the product has been suspended while the FDA and the company continue their investigations as to the source of the problem.

Consumers who have purchased 8 ounce packages of "Lacnola Lactation Granola" are urged to dispose of the product and contact the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (201) 820-8789, between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM EST, Tuesday through Thursday.
