Past Recalls, All Resolved

1 recall on record · most recent 2013 · all resolved

The Honest Kitchen has one voluntary recall on record: in February 2013, it recalled five lots of its Verve, Zeal, and Thrive product lines after a supplier's batch of human-grade parsley was found to potentially carry Salmonella. The company's own finished-product testing found no contamination, and no illnesses were ever reported; the action was precautionary. Its core Wholemade line (ingredients cooked to 165°F before dehydration) has no recall history.
