FDA Enforcement Weekly: Supplements, Cosmetics & Food The FDA actions that actually touch your world, in plain English. For QA & regulatory teams.

This week: moringa recall #9, a lactation granola · a "vegan cheddar" snack recalled for milk, and a bulk seasoning that may explain it · the jalapeño cascade reaches a sixth firm · two more supplements recalled for sildenafil · a botanicals brand's warning letter for promises made in 2024 and never kept · the register is open: 192 actions, one page each.

⭐ Item of the week: the ninth moringa recall is a granola for nursing mothers

Corrected September 20. The first version said the supplier was unnamed, that the product shipped untested, and that contaminated powder "left contaminated." FDA's recall announcement, which we had not read, contradicts all three. The item below is rewritten from that announcement.

The Hampton Grocer (Montauk, NY) recalled 4,059 pouches of Lacnola, a lactation granola made with moringa, for possible Salmonella. Class I, initiated August 14, sold nationwide by mail order and on Amazon (H-1309-2026).

Per FDA's announcement: the supplier, Food to Live, told the firm that a sample of its Organic SuperGreens Powder Mix, lot SO-77820, had tested positive for Salmonella. Moringa from that supplier went into Lacnola before baking. Neither the granola nor the moringa used in it has tested positive, and no illnesses have been reported. The firm recalled on the supplier's notice. It is the same Food to Live recall covered in issue #003, now reaching a food maker by name.

Who else should care: anyone putting a botanical powder into a food product. Nine moringa and greens Salmonella recalls since May.

Verify: H-1309-2026 in FDA's enforcement database and FDA's announcement of August 14. All nine on one page: enforcementweekly.com/hazards/salmonella/.

🗂 The register is open

Everything this digest has covered since May, and everything it did not have room for, now lives at enforcementweekly.com: one page per 2026 FDA action in supplements, cosmetics and food. 192 of them. Each page carries the FDA record as filed (recall numbers, class, status, distribution) and, for 71 of them so far, the plain-English read you get here.

Three ways in: - By firm. Every company named this year has a page listing every action against it. Total Nutrition's two moringa recalls sit on one page. So does the dairy that started April's milk-powder cascade, linked to the six firms it took down. - By hazard. Salmonella, undeclared allergens, foreign material, and the rest, each with the year's count and every case. - By category. Supplements, dairy, seasonings and bulk ingredients, and so on.

And one thing to try: on any page, type the name of one supplier or contract manufacturer you rely on. The register checks it against every 2026 action on the spot. If it comes back clean, that is the honest answer most of the time. If you want us to keep checking, leave your email and we will tell you the same day FDA names them. Free during the beta.

Also this week

• 🔴 A vegan cheddar snack tested positive for milk, and a bulk seasoning may explain it. Marina Del Rey Foods (Laval, Quebec) recalled Frankie's Organic Plant-Based Puffs Vegan Cheddar after the product tested positive for undeclared milk; sold at PCC Markets in Washington and Earth Fare in Florida and South Carolina (Class I, H-1328-2026, initiated August 5). Two days later, Savor Seasonings (Batavia, OH) recalled 10,961 pounds of "Organic Cheddar Type Seasoning" in 50 lb bulk bags, also for testing positive for undeclared milk, distributed to exactly one consignee, in Canada (Class I, H-1319-2026). Neither record names the other. We are inferring the link from the timing, the product, and the geography, and we could be wrong. Why it matters: if the inference holds, a "vegan" product got its allergen from a seasoning supplier's "cheddar type" blend, the same free-from failure as August's aquafaba egg recall, one step further up the chain.

• 🔴 The jalapeño cascade reaches a sixth firm. Ron's Home Style Foods (Houston) recalled 5 lb tubs of salsa and pico de gallo "manufactured with jalapenos that have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella" (Class I, H-1302 and H-1303-2026), distributed in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Same July lot, same shape as the five we covered last week. Why it matters: the importer's recall was July 22. Ron's recall was August 6. Each firm downstream finds out on its own schedule, and FDA's record connects none of them.

• 🔴 Two more supplements recalled for hidden erectile-dysfunction drugs. A&P Creations LLC recalled biQ-FEL (a 500 mL liquid) and X10 "Natural Enhancement" capsules on September 15 because both contain sildenafil and tadalafil (FDA announcements). That is five products in this category since August: Lipofit, two SUPPLX products, and now these. Why it matters: FDA buys and lab-tests sexual-enhancement and weight-loss supplements continuously. If you sell in either category, assume your product has been tested.

• 🔴 Food To Live's August recall is now in the record. The Lexunder recall we covered in issue #003 posted to openFDA on September 9: Class I, 2,802 units of Organic SuperGrass Powder, 40 states, the firm's second Salmonella recall in ten months. The lot that triggered it, Organic SuperGreens Powder Mix SO-77820, is the one named in the Lacnola recall above. The enforcement record still shows no recall number, which is unusual; we will update the firm's page when FDA assigns one.

• 🟡 A botanicals brand's warning letter, for fixes promised in 2024 and never made. Happy Farm Botanicals (Hyattsville, MD), which makes OTC products under a botanical brand, received a CGMP warning letter issued September 1 for failing to identity-test active ingredients before use, and for validation work it had committed to in writing after a 2024 inspection and then did not do (FDA letter). Why it matters: FDA reads your last response letter before it walks in. A promise in a 483 response is a deadline, not a courtesy.

• ⚪ Also: Evergreen Fresh Sprouts recalled broccoli sprouts for Salmonella (September 10), the second sprout grower this summer. Whole Foods pulled a Cabricharme cheese for undeclared egg (September 11). Fayus recalled pounded yam mix for undeclared milk (Class I, H-1329-2026).

📈 Watching for patterns

Cascades, counted. Since May: one milk-powder lot, seven downstream firms. One jalapeño lot, six downstream firms and counting. One bulk moringa lot, four unnamed consignees. And this week, one bulk seasoning and, if we are right, one vegan snack. FDA's enforcement record lists each recalling firm separately and never draws the line between them. The register does. That is most of why it exists.
