The product was at risk of Salmonella contamination, the company said.
There have been several product recalls recently due to Salmonella risk and the Cyclospora outbreak.
A Montauk-based granola brand has recalled its granola intended for breastfeeding mothers due to a potential risk of Salmonella.
The Hampton Grocer announced in a Friday statement on the Food and Drug Administration's website that it had recalled its 8-ounce packs of "Lacnola Lactation Granola" because they could be contaminated with Salmonella.
Two lots of the product, with expiration dates of October 21, 2026, and February 13, 2027, have been recalled.
The company said in an emailed statement to Business Insider that its ingredient supplier, Food to Live, had notified it that one of their products had tested positive for the bacteria.
Salmonella can cause serious and, in some cases, fatal infections, particularly for people with compromised immune systems.
The Hampton Grocer said Food to Live recalled its Organic SuperGreens Powder Mix after it tested positive for Salmonella.
It contained organic moringa leaf powder, an ingredient also used in "Lacnola Lactation Granola." Moringa, a herbal "superfood" plant, is said to be beneficial for breast milk production.
In the announcement on the FDA website, the company urged customers who purchased the granola to dispose of it and contact the place of purchase for a refund.
No illnesses have yet been reported in connection with consumption of the granola, it said, but the company has suspended production of the product while investigations are conducted.
The granola was sold on the company's website and on Amazon.
