A new recall has been issued for a dietary supplement containing moringa leaf powder following an ongoing Salmonella outbreak. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of January 29, 2026, there have been 65 reported cases across 28 states. The CDC has also identified an additional strain of Salmonella in its investigation.
The recalled product is Why Not Natural Organic Moringa Green Superfood capsules, lot # A25G051, with an expiration date of July 2028. These capsules were distributed nationwide.

Epidemiologic, laboratory, and traceback data indicate that moringa leaf powder is contaminated with Salmonella and has caused illness. "Do not eat any recalled dietary supplements. Throw them away or return them to where you bought them," the CDC advised in its announcement. The agency also recommends washing items and surfaces that may have come into contact with the recalled supplements using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
Businesses are instructed not to sell or serve the recalled products and to sanitize any potentially contaminated surfaces.
Salmonella infection typically causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps within six hours to six days after exposure. Most people recover without treatment in four to seven days; however, severe cases can require hospitalization. Young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for serious illness.
For questions about specific state cases, individuals are encouraged to contact their state health department.
