Health officials in the United States have issued an urgent nationwide recall for several popular dietary supplements after they were linked to a dangerous salmonella outbreak.
Products and Supplier Identified
The outbreak, which has resulted in 11 confirmed illnesses and three hospitalisations, has been traced back to a single batch of contaminated raw material. The source is identified as a specific lot of organic moringa leaf powder supplied by Vallon Farmdirect of Jodhpur, India.
The affected products now subject to recall include Organic Moringa Leaf Powder and Organic Supergreens Powder Mix from the brand Food To Live. Also included is Organic Moringa Leaf Powder sold by Africa Imports and the Member’s Mark Super Greens dietary supplement powder.
Nationwide Distribution and Consumer Warning
These products were widely available to consumers across the US. They were sold directly through the Food To Live website and on major online retail platforms, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Etsy, and eBay.
Authorities are urging anyone who has purchased these items to dispose of them immediately or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.
Symptoms and Health Risks
Infection with salmonella bacteria can cause serious illness. Typical symptoms include diarrhea, high fever, and stomach cramps.
While most healthy adults recover without specific treatment, the infection can be severe and even life-threatening for certain groups. Young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at a significantly higher risk of developing severe complications requiring hospital care.
The recall was announced following an investigation into the outbreak, with the initial report coming from Amber Raiken in New York on Sunday 16 November 2025.
