Certain lots of Rosabella-brand moringa powder capsules are being recalled.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating the supplements amid an ongoing antibiotic-resistant Salmonella outbreak.
Here’s a list of impacted lots.
A trendy dietary supplement is being recalled after being linked to a multi-state Salmonella outbreak. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that certain lots of Rosabella-brand moringa powder capsules, distributed by Ambrosia Brands LLC, are being recalled after seven people from seven states were infected with Salmonella.
According to the report, the specific Salmonella strain linked “with this outbreak is resistant to all first-line and alternative antibiotics commonly recommended for the treatment of Salmonella infections.” The FDA is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local officials to investigate the outbreak.
If you believe you have impacted product, do not consume it. Salmonella is a bacterium that may cause serious illness in certain groups. Salmonella infection symptoms may include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, per the FDA. Sickness usually happens within 12 to 72 hours of consuming contaminated product. Young children, the elderly, and those who are immunocompromised may have more severe infections. If you believe you have Salmonella, contact your physician right away.
Which products are affected?
The impacted supplements come in a white bottle with a green lid and label. Check the bottom of the bottle to find the lot codes, which are the middle seven digits printed above the expiration date. The FDA warns against using any of the items from the lot codes listed here. Expiration dates of recalled products span March 2027 to November 2027.
According to the FDA report, the products were sold online via Amazon, TikTok Shop, eBay, Shein, and more.
What to do if you have these products
Again, if you have an impacted product, do not use it. The FDA says to wash and sanitize any surfaces or items that the product may have come in contact with. You can also follow the FDA’s safe handling and cleaning to lower the chances of cross-contamination.
