Diva Fam Inc. is voluntarily recalling all lots and flavors of Sea Moss Gel Superfood due to a “lack of required regulatory authorization and temperature monitoring records for pH-controlled food products,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in an alert.
Newsweek reached out to the company via email for comment on Tuesday night.
Numerous recalls have been initiated this year due to potentially damaged products, foodborne illness, undeclared food allergens or the potential for bacteria.
Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or food allergies every year. According to the FDA, the nine “major” food allergens in the United States are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.
According to the alert, the recall impacts all flavors, sizes and batch numbers of True Sea Moss brand Sea Moss Gel Superfood in 16-ounce glass jars that were manufactured before January 9, 2026. The product was sold nationwide through select retailers and via website.
There have been no reported illnesses in connection to the recall, the FDA alert says.
The alert lists recalled flavors and corresponding UPC numbers for customers to cross-reference.
“The matter was identified during a California Department of Public Health inspection that raised questions regarding regulatory authorization and related production records for certain distributed products. The Company is cooperating fully with regulatory authorities and has initiated this voluntary recall to ensure regulatory alignment,” the FDA alert says in part.
Consumers in possession of any recalled Sea Moss Gel Superfood should immediately discontinue use and follow instructions from the retailer regarding product return or disposal. For further details, customers may contact Diva Fam via phone at 818-751-3882 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time weekdays or email support@divafam.com.
In an email to Newsweek last year the FDA said, “Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall, the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service.
“The FDA’s role during a voluntary, firm-initiated, recall is to review the recall strategy, evaluate the health hazard presented by the product, monitor the recall, and as appropriate alert the public and other companies in the supply chain about the recall.
“The FDA provides public access to information on recalls by posting a listing of recalls according to their classification in the FDA Enforcement Report, including the specific action taken by the recalling company. The FDA Enforcement Report is designed to provide a public listing of products in the marketplace that are being recalled.”
