California Firm Recall Sea Moss Gel for Improper Process Controls Resulting in Botulism Risk

Diva Fam Inc. ("Diva Fam" or the "Company") today (January 9, 2026) announced a voluntary recall of all lots and flavors of Sea Moss Gel Superfood due to lack of required regulatory authorization and temperature monitoring records for pH-controlled food products.  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 company is making a sea moss gel, which if not adjusted for pH after heating to set the gel, could become essentially a petri dish for growing organisms, specifically Clostridium botulinum.
