If you have consumed recalled moringa leaf powder you may have been exposed to Salmonella bacteria.
Salmonella illnesses, like most foodborne infections, occur on a spectrum. Some people do not get very sick and have mild symptoms. Others may experience more severe illness or even die from complications. This is more likely to occur in certain higher risk groups like children under five years old, infants (that are not breast fed), and people taking certain medications, such as acid reducers. Infants, adults over 65 years old, and those with a weakened immune system are more likely to experience severe symptoms if infected.
Common symptoms include:
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 vary from person to person. Most people experience mild illnesses that passes quickly. Others may experience severe illness lasting weeks or even months after initial symptoms.
Most people, however, feel better within a week (four to seven days).
If you become sick, retained product may be tested to determine if it contains the outbreak strain of Salmonella bacteria.
Most of the time Salmonella bacteria are limited to the intestinal tract. However, in some cases, the bacteria can breach the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream capillaries and veins found there. When this happens, bacteria may infect the urinary tract, blood, bones, joints, and even the nervous system.
Salmonella infections should be taken very seriously. Serious, life-threatening complications may develop.
If you may have become sick from Salmonella linked to moringa leaf powder, there are a few things that you can do to help your situation.

If you begin having symptoms consistent with a Salmonella infection, seek medical attention right away. If you are not sick enough to need medical care, it is still a good idea to report your illness to your local health department.
