Moringa-linked Salmonella concerns prompt nationwide recall of lactation granola

Hampton Grocers Inc. has recalled its Lacnola Lactation Granola, a product marketed to breastfeeding mothers, over potential Salmonella contamination, according to Food Safety News and Medical Daily. The recall covers pink 8-ounce stand-up pouches sold nationwide through the thehamptongrocers.com website and online retailers including Amazon, between Oct. 21, 2025, and Aug. 12, 2026. The recall was triggered after a supplier reported that one of its products tested positive for Salmonella, LIVENOWFOX reported. That product, organic moringa powder, is also an ingredient in the granola. Medical Daily reported that the moringa ingredient is tied to four separate Salmonella outbreak investigations since 2025. "The moringa ingredient is tied to four separate Salmonella outbreak investigations since 2025." That connection places this recall within a broader pattern of concern around moringa, not just a single contaminated batch. The FDA published the recall on August 14, weeks after federal agencies declared the moringa outbreak investigation, according to Medical Daily. Fox Business confirmed the nationwide sales window, while LIVENOWFOX noted that all affected packages are in pink, eight-ounce stand-up pouches. "All of the recalled packages are in pink, eight-ounce stand-up pouches." Consumers are advised to check the specific affected lot codes on the pouch, per Medical Daily, and the recall includes UPC 850035324554, according to Food Safety News.
