What Happened

The Hampton Grocers, Inc., based in Montauk, New York, is recalling its Lacnola Lactation Granola after an ingredient supplier reported that a sample of organic moringa powder tested positive for Salmonella. That same moringa powder went into this granola.

The company announced the recall on August 14, 2026, and the FDA posted it the same day. Production has been paused while the company and the FDA work to find the source of the contamination. No illnesses had been reported when the recall was announced.

Check Your Pantry For This

Lacnola comes in an 8 ounce pink stand-up pouch. The lot code and expiration date are printed in black ink on the back of the bag, upper left corner.

  • UPC: 850035324554
  • Lot HGLC-102125: expires 10/21/26
  • Lot HGLC-021326: expires 2/13/27
  • Packaging: Pink 8 oz stand-up pouch

If your bag matches either lot code, do not eat it, even if it looks and smells completely normal. Salmonella does not change how food looks or tastes.

Where the Granola Was Sold

Lacnola was sold nationwide online only. It was not sold in stores. It shipped through thehamptongrocer.com and other online retailers, including Amazon, between October 21, 2025 and August 12, 2026.

That is a ten month window, so if you have ever ordered this granola for yourself or as a gift for a new mom, it is worth a quick check. The later lot does not expire until February 2027, which means bags bought recently could still be sitting unopened in a pantry or freezer.

Why This One Deserves Extra Attention

Lacnola is marketed specifically to breastfeeding and postpartum women, and it is often given as a gift after a baby arrives. That means the people most likely to have it in the house are already managing a newborn, sleep deprivation, and a body that is recovering from birth.

Salmonella infection typically causes fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain in healthy adults. It is usually not dangerous for a healthy adult, but a new mom who is already exhausted and caring for a newborn does not need one more thing to manage. In rare cases, Salmonella can spread beyond the gut and cause more serious illness.

If you received this granola as a new mom gift and are not sure whether you finished the bag, it is worth checking now rather than assuming it is fine.

What To Do Right Now

  • Do not eat it. If your bag matches the UPC and either lot code above, skip it.
  • Throw it away or contact the seller. Reach out to the place you purchased it from for a refund.
  • Check gift bags too. If someone gave you Lacnola after your baby was born, check that bag as well.
  • Wash your hands after handling the recalled product.

When To Call a Doctor

Most healthy adults recover from Salmonella without medical treatment. But if you ate the recalled granola and start feeling unwell, pay attention to your symptoms.

Call a healthcare provider if you develop fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or stomach pain after eating the recalled product, especially if symptoms are severe or do not improve. Mention that you ate a recalled item so they can factor that into what they are looking for. If you are currently breastfeeding, it is also worth mentioning that to your provider.

The Bottom Line

If you have Lacnola Lactation Granola in your pantry, check the back of the bag for lot HGLC-102125 or HGLC-021326. If it matches, toss it and reach out to wherever you bought it for a refund.

No illnesses have been reported so far, and checking your pantry now is exactly how that number stays at zero.
