Granola Sold Through Amazon Recalled Over Possible Salmonella Contamination

A specialty lactation granola sold online across the United States has been recalled because of a potential risk of Salmonella contamination. The recall affects select packages of Lacnola Lactation Granola, which were sold through Amazon, the company’s website, and other online retailers.

The Hampton Grocer, Inc., a New York-based company located in Montauk, announced the recall on August 14, 2026. The company said the action was taken after an ingredient supplier notified it that a sample of one of its products had tested positive for Salmonella.

Lacnola Lactation Granola Recall Details

The recalled product is Lacnola Lactation Granola, packaged in 8-ounce pink stand-up pouches. Consumers who purchased the product should check the packaging carefully to determine whether it is included in the recall.

The affected product has the following UPC number:

UPC: 850035324554

According to the FDA recall notice, the granola was sold between October 21, 2025, and August 12, 2026. It was available through thehamptongrocers.com as well as online marketplaces and retailers, including Amazon.

Two specific lot codes are included in the recall:

• Lot HGLC-102125, with an expiration date of October 21, 2026
• Lot HGLC-021326, with an expiration date of February 13, 2027

The lot code and expiration date can be found printed in black ink on the upper-left portion of the back of the package.

Consumers who have the recalled granola should avoid eating it, even if the product looks or smells normal. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not show obvious signs of spoilage.

Why Was the Granola Recalled?

The company said the potential contamination was connected to an ingredient used in the granola. An ingredient supplier reported that a sample of one of its products had tested positive for Salmonella.

The ingredient in question is organic moringa powder, which is used in Lacnola Lactation Granola.

Following the notification, The Hampton Grocer suspended production of the granola while the company and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigate the possible source of contamination.

At the time of the recall announcement, the company reported that no illnesses had been associated with the recalled product.

A recall does not necessarily mean that every package contains harmful bacteria. Instead, it is a precautionary measure intended to remove potentially contaminated products from consumers and reduce the possibility of illness.

What Is Salmonella?

Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause an infection known as salmonellosis. It is one of the leading causes of bacterial foodborne illness in the United States.

People can become infected after consuming contaminated food or beverages. Symptoms can include diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and headache.

Symptoms may begin within several hours or several days after exposure. For many otherwise healthy people, the illness improves without specific medical treatment. However, Salmonella infections can sometimes become serious.

Young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems can face a greater risk of complications.

In more severe cases, the infection can cause significant dehydration or spread beyond the intestines. Serious complications can include bloodstream infections and sepsis.

Anyone who develops severe symptoms, including persistent vomiting, bloody diarrhea, a high fever, or signs of serious dehydration, should seek medical attention.

What Consumers Should Do With Recalled Granola

Consumers who purchased the recalled Lacnola Lactation Granola should not eat the product.

The Hampton Grocer advises customers to discard the affected granola and contact the retailer where the product was purchased to request a full refund.

Before throwing away the packaging, consumers may want to record the product name, lot number, expiration date, and purchase information. This can help when contacting the retailer about a refund.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact The Hampton Grocer at (201) 820-8789. The company says its phone line is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Tuesday through Thursday.

People who purchased the product online should also check their order history and recall notifications to determine whether their purchase may be affected.

How to Reduce the Risk of Salmonella Infection

Food safety practices can help reduce the risk of Salmonella and other foodborne illnesses.

Consumers should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water before preparing or eating food. Kitchen surfaces, utensils, and food preparation equipment should also be cleaned regularly.

Raw and ready-to-eat foods should be handled separately to reduce cross-contamination. Foods that require cooking should be prepared to safe internal temperatures.

It is also important to follow storage instructions and refrigerate perishable foods promptly. Consumers should pay attention to product recalls and avoid eating foods identified by health authorities or manufacturers as potentially contaminated.

What This Recall Means for Consumers

The Lacnola Lactation Granola recall highlights why consumers should pay attention to lot numbers and expiration dates when purchasing packaged foods online.

Products sold through major marketplaces such as Amazon can reach customers across the country, making it particularly important to check recall notices after purchasing food products online.

Consumers who still have Lacnola Lactation Granola at home should inspect the package for the affected UPC and lot information. If the product matches the recalled lots, it should not be consumed.

The recall remains a precautionary action while the company and FDA investigate the potential contamination. Consumers should rely on official recall information for updates and follow any additional instructions issued by the manufacturer or federal health authorities.
