Food To Live, a company based in Brooklyn, New York, has announced a voluntary recall of its Organic Moringa Leaf Powder and Organic Supergreens Powder Mix due to potential contamination with Salmonella. The recall affects products distributed under the Food To Live brand in various package sizes ranging from 8 ounces to 44 pounds for the moringa powder and 8 ounces to 12 pounds for the supergreens mix.
The recalled items were distributed nationwide through retail and wholesale channels. Customers could purchase these products directly from Food To Live’s website or through third-party platforms such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target, Etsy, and eBay. Bulk quantities were also sold to food manufacturers and other businesses via the company’s wholesale division.
Only packages with lot codes starting with “SO-69006” and ending with “SO-72558,” printed on the back of each bag, are included in this recall. No other Food To Live products or lots are affected.
Salmonella infection can lead to serious health risks, especially for young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms may include fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can result in more severe illnesses if it spreads beyond the intestines.
The recall was initiated after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified Food To Live that a supplier lot of organic moringa powder tested positive for Salmonella. This lot has been linked to an outbreak of salmonellosis across several states. Both FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are investigating these reported illnesses.
“We have suspended production and distribution of Organic Moringa Leaf Powder while we and the FDA continue to investigate the source and extent of the problem. Food To Live is working closely with the FDA to ensure all potentially unsafe product is removed from commerce.”
Consumers who have purchased any affected products should not consume them. The company advises disposing of or returning them for a full refund at their place of purchase or contacting Food To Live directly for assistance regarding online orders.
“Food To Live takes food safety extremely seriously. We apologize for the inconvenience and concern this recall may cause our customers. Our company is committed to ensuring the quality of our products and the well-being of our consumers.”
Further details about this outbreak investigation are available through official FDA resources.
