As part of routine audit procedures, we recently detected unexpected traces of pesticides in some of our Echinacea Immune Support tea.
While Yogi does not use pesticides – buying only to Organic Specifications that do not allow
conventional pesticide use – we exist within a complex supply chain network where not everyone values organic practices in the same way that we do.
For example, if a neighboring farm is applying pesticides or chemical fertilizers, those applications may drift onto our farmers’ organic land.

While the traces of pesticides found in the Echinacea posed no risk of harm or illness, the product did not meet the high-quality standards our consumers have come to expect from us.

Out of an abundance of caution, we immediately notified the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate voluntary recall procedures.

We have been following FDA protocols and are working with our retail partners on specific next steps, including removing potentially affected products from store shelves and having them returned to us for disposal.
In addition, we are working with all ingredient vendors to ensure full compliance with our supplier expectations and testing requirements.
We also have engaged new partners to add additional testing capabilities across all of our products.

Yogi is committed to making delicious and functional products, made with the highest quality, organic, and sustainably sourced ingredients. We apologize for any concern the recall may have caused.

Any consumers with concerns can reach us at  customerservice@yogiproducts.com or at : Contact Customer Service  and can return their Echinacea Immune Support Tea to the original purchase location for a full refund.
