A limited recall was announced today by The Honest Kitchen. It affects specific lots of their Thrive, Verve and Zeal formulas only.
The recall was announced because one of the ingredient suppliers recalled a batch of human-grade parsley that may contain Salmonella. The parsley was used only in the production of the five lots of Honest Kitchen products listed below.
You have already been contacted if any of these formulas have been delivered to you since August.
If you have purchased any of these formulas elsewhere, please check the lot number and expiration dates to see if they are part of the recall. If so, return them to the retailer where they were purchased for refund or replacement.
