FDA Launches Investigation Related to Moringa Leaf Powder Supplements Recall Following Reported Salmonella Infections

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning U.S. consumers not to consume recalled dietary supplements containing moringa leaf powder. These supplements have been recalled due to reports of salmonella infections, which can be particularly risky for individuals in certain populations. Individuals who experience serious complications should consult with a defective drug lawyer about their legal rights.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched an investigation following an expanded recall of moringa leaf powder dietary supplements sold by Superfoods, Inc. and Total Nutrition Inc. The investigation follows reported cases of salmonella infections linked to multiple brands of supplements, including TNVitamins and Doctor’s Pride, among others.

About the Moringa Leaf Powder Supplements Recall and Investigation

The moringa leaf powder supplement recall began in January, when Superfoods, Inc., agreed to initiate a voluntary recall at the FDA’s request for its Live it Up-brand Super Greens dietary supplement powder. At that time, the FDA announced that it was working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections linked to Live it Up-brand supplements.

But, the recall—and the FDA’s investigation—quickly expanded. To date, the FDA has raised concerns with the following supplements sold by Superfoods, Inc. and Total Nutrition Inc.:

• Live it Up Super Greens, 8.5 oz (240g), UPC 860013190804
• Live it Up Super Greens, 8.47 oz (240g), UPC 850077468063
• Live it Up Super Greens, Wild Berry, 8.5OZ (240g), UPC 860013190811
• Live it Up Super Greens, Wild Berry, 9.52oz (270g), UPC 850077468070
• Why Not Natural Pure Organic Moringa Green Superfood, lot A25G051 (Exp. 07/2028)
• TNVitamins-brand Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa, 10,000 mg (120 capsules) lot 2507199 (Exp. 09/2027), lot 2512-304 (Exp. 02/2028), lot 2793 (Exp. 02/2028), lot 2748 (Exp. 07/2027), and lot 2503104 (Exp. 04/2027)
• Doctor’s Pride Complete Green Superfood Ultra Potent Moringa, 10,000 mg (120 capsules) lot 2507199 (Exp. 09/2027), lot 2748 (Exp. 07/2027), and lot 2725 (Exp. 04/2027)

According to the FDA, the recall and investigation relate primarily to supplements sold online. This includes supplements sold through the TNVitamins, Doctor’s Pride, Live it Up and Why Not Natural company websites, as well as Amazon, eBay and Walmart.

Recall and Investigation Relate to Multiple Reports of Salmonella Infections

The recall and investigation involving moringa leaf powder supplements relate to multiple reports of salmonella infections that have been linked to the specific supplements listed above. As of June 12, 2026, the FDA had received reports of 119 infections in 36 states, with 32 of these infections resulting in hospitalization.  

Salmonella infections have the potential to be serious. As the FDA explains:

“Most people infected with Salmonella will begin to develop symptoms 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness, salmonellosis, usually lasts four to seven days and most people recover without treatment.

“Most people with salmonellosis develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. More severe cases of salmonellosis may include a high fever, aches, headaches, lethargy, a rash, blood in the urine or stool, and in some cases may become fatal. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that approximately 450 persons in the United States die each year from acute salmonellosis.”

The FDA also warns that young children, elderly adults, and people with weakened immune systems are at increased risk of experiencing serious complications. This is consistent with information from other public health organizations. All individuals who have concerns should seek treatment promptly, and those who are diagnosed with serious health effects after taking a recalled moringa leaf powder supplement should consult with a defective drug lawyer about their legal rights.

Defective Drug Lawsuits Involving Dangerous Supplements

Individuals who have been diagnosed with serious health effects linked to dangerous supplements may have grounds to file a defective drug lawsuit. Like all product manufacturers, drug and supplement makers can be held legally accountable when they sell products that pose serious health risks to users. In many cases, these companies will face substantial liability exposure in mass tort litigation—which involves multiple plaintiffs pursuing similar claims simultaneously.

Filing a defective drug lawsuit begins with talking to a lawyer. These are complex cases that require experienced legal representation. Individuals who are eligible to file a lawsuit can hire a defective drug lawyer at no out-of-pocket cost, with their legal fees (if any) being deducted from their settlement or verdict if their case is successful.
