The Hampton Grocer suspends lactation granola production after a supplier's ingredient tests positive for Salmonella. No illnesses reported. Founder says the recall is "financially devastating" for the small business.
A Montauk-based granola brand has recalled its lactation granola over potential Salmonella contamination.
The Hampton Grocer recalled 8-ounce packs of Lacnola Lactation Granola with expiration dates of October 21, 2026, and February 13, 2027. The company announced the recall Friday on the FDA's website.
The contamination originated from a supplier, Food to Live, which notified the company that its Organic SuperGreens Powder Mix tested positive for Salmonella. That mix contained organic moringa leaf powder, also used in the lactation granola. Moringa is a herbal supplement sometimes used to boost breast milk production.
The company urged customers to dispose of the product and seek refunds. No illnesses have been reported. Production of the granola has been suspended pending investigation.
Founder Samantha Sherman, a mother of two, said the recall is "financially devastating" for the small business. "Our customers' trust is worth far more than any inventory or sales," she said.
The recall follows other recent food safety incidents. Taylor Farms recalled jalapeño-containing products in August due to Salmonella. In July, a Cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico affected multiple states.
