Company Announcement

October 28, 2025, Vanguard Enterprises, LLC. DBA Bedrock MFG of Boise, Idaho is recalling Monarch Premium Kratom brand Bali Gold, Red Bali, Green Maeng Da, and White Elephant powder because product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

These kratom powder products are not sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin.

The affected Monarch Premium Kratom brand Bali Gold, Red Bali, Green Maeng Da, and White Elephant products are packaged in multiple-sized (14-gram, 56-gram, 112-gram, 224-gram) mylar pouches. Each pouch is marked with one of the following lot numbers and UPC:
