If it seems like you just heard about a Salmonella outbreak linked to moringa powder, you aren’t mistaken. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported another, separate outbreak linked to the superfood supplement powder.
This one larger, with more recalled products, and involves capsules.
What’s going on with moringa powder? What should you look out for if you have consumed it recently? Why is this Salmonella outbreak so serious? Most importantly, what should you do if you get sick?
Earlier this month, the FDA announced an extensively drug-resistant Salmonella outbreak linked to moringa powder capsules.
As of February 19, 2026 at least seven people have been linked to the outbreak. Of which three people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. Sick people have been identified in the states of Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, and Washington.
Illnesses have dated back to November 7, 2025, with the last report of illness onset occurring on January 8, 2026. All people available for interview reported eating the same brand of moringa powder capsules.
Not to be confused with the Salmonella outbreak associated with moringa leaf powder identified at the end of 2025 that sickened and hospitalized at least three people. Initially, Members Mark Super Greens dietary supplement powder was indicated as the source of that outbreak. However, it quickly expanded to three other brands. One being Vallon Farmdirect from Johdpur, India, a Food To Live brand, and the other came in bulk 1 kilogram box packaging sold on Africa Imports’ website.
This outbreak is different.
It involves different products and a different strain of Salmonella. One that creates additional complications.
Sick people reported consuming Ambrosia Brands, LLC Rosabella-brand moringa powder capsules. While the FDA recommended that Ambrosia Brands, LLC recall all associated products from the market, the firm agreed to recall certain lots. An additional recall may be announced.
Recalled product can be identified as packaged in white plastic bottles with lot codes printed on the bottom of the bottles.
These products have expiration dates from 03/2027 to 11/2027. The specific lots subject to recall can be found here: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/ambrosia-brands-llc-recalls-rosabella-moringa-capsules-because-possible-health-risk
No other Ambrosia Brands products are impacted by this recall.
If you have recently consumed moringa powder or capsules recently, you may experience salmonellosis illness. This may include symptoms like diarrhea, fever, or stomach cramps.
Most people experience symptoms in as little as six hours and up to six days after exposure. In some cases, illness onset could be much longer.
Severity and length of illness often varies from person to person. Most people experience mild illness that passes quickly (within a week). Others may experience severe illness lasting weeks or even months after initial symptoms.
Certain groups of people have conditions or susceptibilities that make them more likely to become sick if exposed, and experience more severe symptoms if infected.
Those more vulnerable to Salmonella infection include:
Those more likely to experience sever symptoms include:
While most people do not need medical intervention and are not prescribed antibiotic treatment, those in the higher risk group are more likely to receive treatment.
In some cases, complications may arise from infection. Complications like reactive arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and bacteremia that happens when this bacteria breach the intestinal wall in enter the bloodstream.
This Salmonella outbreak linked to moringa powder capsules is particularly serious because it is antibiotic resistant.
According to the FDA, ”the Salmonella strain associated with this outbreak is resistant to all first-line and alternative antibiotics commonly recommended for the treatment of Salmonella infections.”
This makes serious illness difficult to treat, increasing the risk of complication and death.
