Why Was True Sea Moss Gel Recalled?

True Sea Moss Gel Superfood was recalled because Diva Fam Inc. lacked the regulatory authorization and temperature-monitoring records required for pH-controlled foods. A California Department of Public Health inspection raised the questions that led to the recall. True Sea Moss Gel Superfood is a pH-controlled food, needing temperature control to stop harmful bacteria. Without Diva Fam Inc.’s authorization and temperature records, the FDA could not confirm the jars were made safely, raising a possible botulism risk. Diva Fam Inc. said it is cooperating fully with regulators and recalled the product voluntarily, citing the missing production records, to ensure regulatory alignment.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

No illnesses or adverse health events had been linked to True Sea Moss Gel Superfood as of this recall’s notice, dated January 12, 2026. Diva Fam Inc. and the FDA said no reports had reached them by that date. The recall began because records needed to rule out a botulism risk were missing, not because a specific illness was confirmed. A reported incident alone is not proof that a product caused an illness. Anyone who used the product and later became sick should tell a doctor right away, describe when they used it, and may also contact the FDA or Diva Fam Inc. directly.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who has True Sea Moss Gel Superfood at home, in any flavor, should take these steps:

1. Stop using each True Sea Moss Gel Superfood jar found at home, no matter which of the 14 flavors it is.
2. Follow the retailer’s instructions for returning or disposing of the jar.
3. Contact Diva Fam Inc. at support@divafam.com or (818) 751-3882, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time, with questions.
4. Watch for botulism symptoms, including weakness, dizziness, double vision, or trouble speaking or swallowing.
5. Seek emergency care right away if breathing becomes difficult or muscles weaken severely.

Legal Options

No lawsuit or class action over True Sea Moss Gel Superfood had been filed as of this recall’s notice. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Schmidt & Clark is reviewing potential claims for consumers who used the product and became ill. Anyone with symptoms after using it may want an individual legal review of their situation before deciding whether to pursue a claim.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing a legal claim depend on state law. Where a person lives and when the illness, exposure, or diagnosis occurred can change how much time remains to act. A missed filing deadline can end a claim, no matter how strong the facts are. Anyone thinking about a claim over this product should check with a lawyer promptly to find out what applies to their case.
