News  DPH Issues Public Health Advisory on Recalled Moringa Leaf Powder Products

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is advising consumers, retailers, and clinicians about multiple recentSalmonellaoutbreaks associated with recalled moringa-containing products, including powders, capsules, and other dietary supplements. Massachusetts is among the states with reported cases.

DPH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) , and public health partners across many states have been investigating Salmonella illnesses linked to moringa products since late 2025. Since January 2026, US firms importing this product have been inspected by the FDA and state agencies.  In the past year, over 150 Salmonella infections across the US have been tied back to moringa-containing products. The investigation in Massachusetts is ongoing to determine whether additional products are being distributed in the state. 

Recalled products

Consumers should check their homes for recalled dietary supplements containing moringa leaf powder. Recalled products include certain:

• TNVitamins Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa 10,000 mg capsules

These products have been distributed nationwide, primarily online through company websites and other online retailers, including Amazon, eBay, and Walmart. Recalled products should not be eaten, sold, served, distributed, or purchased.

In addition to those listed above, other moringa-containing products have also been associated with recent Salmonella outbreak investigations. Consumers should review FDA recall notices and CDC outbreak updates before using any moringa powder, capsule, or supplement product.
