Granola Sold Through Amazon Recalled Over Possible Salmonella Contamination — Lacnola Lactation Granola in 8-ounce pink stand-up pouches recalled on Aug. 14, 2026 (FDA)

A New York-based grocer has recalled a specialty lactation granola sold nationwide through Amazon and its own website after learning the product could be contaminated with Salmonella.

The Hampton Grocer, Inc., based in Montauk, New York, announced the recall on Aug.14 for its Lacnola Lactation Granola in 8-ounce pink stand-up pouches, according to an FDA notice published the same day.

The product carries UPC number 850035324554 and was sold both on thehamptongrocers.com website and through other online retailers, including Amazon, between Oct. 21, 2025, and Aug. 12, 2026.

Two lot codes are affected by the recall: Lot HGLC-102125, with an expiration date of Oct. 21, 2026, and Lot HGLC-021326, with an expiration date of Feb. 13, 2027. Consumers can find the lot numbers and expiration dates printed in black ink on the upper left side of the back of the bags.

Source of Contamination Traced to Supplier

The company said it discovered the potential contamination after an ingredient supplier reported that a sample of one of its products tested positive for Salmonella.

The tainted ingredient, organic moringa powder, is also used in the Lacnola Lactation Granola. The Hampton Grocer has since suspended production of the granola while it and the FDA investigate the source of the contamination.

As of the Aug. 14 announcement, no illnesses had been linked to the product.

Health Risks Tied to Salmonella

Salmonella is the most common cause of bacterial food poisoning in the United States, sickening more than a million people annually, according to information from the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms typically appear within a few hours to a few days of exposure and can include diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and headache.

Most cases resolve on their own within three to seven days, though people at higher risk of complications—including those over 65, children under 5, and individuals with weakened immune systems or sickle cell disease—may require antibiotic treatment.

Severe cases can lead to dehydration, bloodstream infections known as bacteremia, sepsis, or, rarely, organ failure. Anyone experiencing high fever, bloody stool, persistent vomiting, or signs of severe dehydration is advised to seek emergency care.

What Consumers Should Do

The Hampton Grocer is urging anyone who purchased the 8-ounce Lacnola Lactation Granola pouches to discard the product and contact their place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions can reach the company at (201) 820-8789 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST, Tuesday through Thursday.

Most Salmonella cases stem from raw or undercooked food and can be prevented through basic hygiene, including frequent handwashing and proper food handling practices.
