The Food and Drug Adminstration has issued a mandatory recall of Kratom supplements found to contain salmonella.

The recall involves all Kratom products sold by Triangle Pharmanaturals.

The mandatory order comes after the company did not cooperate with a voluntary recall request.

The FDA is advising consumers to throw away Kratom products made by Triangle.

At least 87 people in 35 states have been sickened by a salmonella outbreak linked to Kratom.

The FDA declared Kratom an opioid in February saying it is not safe for medical use.
