Product label supplied with recall notice / FDA. Copied October 30, 2026.
A recall of one lot of 365 Whole Foods Market ashwagandha capsules covers products sold nationwide, according to a company notice updated Friday over potential Salmonella contamination.
Vitality Works Inc. said customers should not take the recalled capsules. They should discard them, not return them to the store. Refunds are available at any Whole Foods Market store.
The recall covers 120-count bottles of 365 Whole Foods Market Standardized + Full Spectrum Blend Ashwagandha with lot number 2025-26227 and expiration date 10/13/2028, both printed on the bottom of the bottle.
The capsules were sold at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide and online through Amazon from November 24, 2025, through October 20, 2026, according to the announcement posted by the FDA. The notice was updated October 30 to reflect nationwide distribution rather than sales in selected states.
No illnesses had been reported, the company said. The potential contamination was identified through routine sampling of a single retail unit. The recall does not apply to every lot of the supplement.
Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. The company warned that infections can be serious or fatal for young children, older or frail people, and people with weakened immune systems.
Customers with questions can contact Vitality Works at 505-268-9950, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time.
