Sunstone Organics is recalling two lots of Sunstone Organics Kratom, including White Vein Kratom Lot 119 and Maeng Da Kratom Lot 124A. The recall covers both capsules and powder form, in all sizes. These products may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. No reports of illness have been received to date in connection with this recall.
The product is used as a tea or a supplement and is packaged in Kraft stand-up pouches, in three different size bags. The package sizes in the powder type are 25 grams, 50 grams, and 100 grams. The package sizes in the capsule form are 20 count, 60 count, and 150 count. You can see the UPC numbers for these recalled products at the FDA web site.
All six kratom sizes pertain to the same lot number. These kratom products do not have an expiration date. They were sold in retail outlets in Oregon, Washington state, California, and Nebraska. Signs have been posted in all stores notifying consumers about this problem.
If you purchased these items, do not use them. Discard them in a sealed package in a secure garbage can with a tight lid, or take them back to the place of purchase for a refund.
The symptoms of a Salmonella infection include fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, stomach cramps, and diarrhea that may be bloody. People usually start feeling sick 12 to 72 hours after they ingest food or a product that is contaminated with the pathogen.
If you have been sickened by this or any other product, you can report your illness to FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program. Fill out the information online, or you can call to request a form.
