Granola marketed to breastfeeding mothers and sold nationwide is being recalled over concerns that it may be contaminated with salmonella.
The Hampton Grocer, Inc., a New York-based company, is recalling certain 8-ounce packages of its Lacnola Lactation Granola after an ingredient used in the product was linked to a positive salmonella test, according to a company announcement posted Aug. 14 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The granola was sold nationwide through The Hampton Grocer’s website, Amazon and other online retailers between Oct. 21, 2025, and Aug. 12, 2026.

“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,” the announcement noted.
The recalled product comes in a pink stand-up pouch with UPC 850035324554.
Consumers should check their packages for either of the following lot codes and expiration dates:

The potential contamination was discovered after a supplier said one of its products tested positive for salmonella. The granola contains the same organic moringa powder used in that product.
