Two superfood supplements sold nationwide through Amazon, Walmart, Target and TikTok Shop were recalled after possible salmonella contamination tied them to a multistate outbreak.
The FDA said 119 illnesses and 32 hospitalizations have been reported in the outbreak, which is linked to dietary supplements containing imported moringa leaf powder.
Affected products are TNVitamins Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa and Doctor's Pride Complete Green Superfood Ultra Potent Moringa—both sold in white 120-capsule bottles, with listed lots expiring in 2027 and 2028.
Salmonella symptoms can begin 6 hours to 6 days after exposure and usually include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, with young children, older adults and immunocompromised people facing higher risk of severe illness.
