FDA Issues Urgent Recall of Trendy Supplement After Salmonella Outbreak Sickens Seven
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an urgent nationwide recall for a popular dietary supplement linked to a salmonella outbreak that has already sickened multiple individuals. Rosabella-brand moringa powder capsules, marketed to support energy levels and sleep, were recalled on Friday following an investigation by health authorities.
Outbreak Details and Product Identification
According to information collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seven people were infected with the Salmonella Newport strain between November 7, 2025, and January 8, 2026. Three of those interviewed confirmed they had consumed Rosabella-brand moringa powder capsules prior to falling ill.
The recalled capsules were sold in white plastic bottles with green labels and expiration dates in 2027. Consumers can identify affected products by checking seven-digit lot codes listed by the FDA. The supplements were distributed through multiple online platforms including Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, Shein, and the manufacturer's website Tryrosabella.com.
Geographic Spread and Health Impact
Salmonella infections have been reported across seven states: Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, and Washington. Of the seven confirmed cases, three individuals required hospitalization for their symptoms. Fortunately, no deaths have been reported in connection with this outbreak.
Consumers who purchased these supplements are urged to immediately dispose of them or return them to their place of purchase. The FDA emphasizes that salmonella illness typically develops within 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated products, with symptoms including diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps that can persist for four to seven days.
Broader Context of Supplement Safety Concerns
This incident represents the latest in a series of salmonella outbreaks linked to dietary supplements in the United States. Just last month, Superfoods Inc. recalled Live it Up-brand Super Greens powder after it was connected to 45 illnesses reported between August and December 2025, with at least 12 hospitalizations.
In September, four popular dietary supplements imported from India, including Member's Mark Super Greens Powder, were recalled following a separate salmonella outbreak that sickened 11 people and hospitalized three. Of those interviewed by the CDC, nine out of ten reported consuming powdered dietary supplements before becoming ill.
The Persistent Threat of Salmonella
According to CDC data, salmonella bacteria remain the second leading cause of foodborne illnesses in the United States. The organization estimates that salmonella causes approximately 1.35 million illnesses, 420 deaths, and 26,500 hospitalizations annually across the country.
This latest recall underscores ongoing concerns about food safety within the supplement industry and highlights the importance of regulatory vigilance as consumers increasingly turn to dietary products for health and wellness benefits.
