Ambrosia Brands, LLC, based in New York, has issued a recall for certain lots of its Rosabella Moringa Capsules due to potential contamination with Salmonella. The bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms in healthy people may include fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can spread to the bloodstream and lead to more severe health issues such as arterial infections, endocarditis, or arthritis.
The affected product was distributed nationwide through Ambrosia Brands' direct-to-consumer website and TikTok Shop since February 2025. The company noted that unauthorized sales might have occurred on other online platforms like eBay and Shein. While no impacted lots were sold directly by Ambrosia Brands on Amazon.com and there are no authorized resellers on that platform, customers who bought Rosabella Moringa capsules from Amazon are advised to check their lot numbers.
The recall covers 60-count bottles of Rosabella Moringa Capsules with lot codes beginning with "1356" followed by a "-1" or "-2." These codes are printed on the bottom of the bottles above the expiration date. The recalled products have expiration dates ranging from March 2027 to November 2027.
So far, seven illnesses—including three hospitalizations—have been reported across the United States related to Salmonella contamination; three of these cases may be connected to this product. According to information from both the FDA and CDC, the outbreak may be linked specifically to Rosabella Moringa Capsules.
"We continue to diligently investigate, in collaboration with FDA, this possible link of the Salmonella outbreak to Rosebella Moringa Capsules," Ambrosia Brands stated. "We have discontinued use and purchase of all raw moringa leaf powder from the raw material supplier of the above referenced lots."
No other products made by Ambrosia Brands are affected by this recall. Customers who possess bottles from any of these lots are instructed not to eat, sell, or serve them and should dispose of them immediately.
"Ambrosia Brands is conducting this recall voluntarily and takes this matter very 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," said Ambrosia Brands in a statement.
Consumers seeking additional information can contact Ambrosia Brands at 914-768-1357 during business hours Monday through Friday.
