WASHINGTON, D.C. — Federal health officials have expanded an ongoing Salmonella investigation tied to moringa-based dietary supplements after identifying 22 additional illnesses across four more states, adding to concerns that recalled products may still be causing infections months after initial warnings were issued.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that its investigation remains active and that epidemiological evidence indicates some lots of TNVitamins Moringa Capsules may be linked to current illnesses. The agency noted it is working with the Food and Drug Administration to determine whether additional products are contributing to the outbreak.
The latest update includes 22 newly reported cases and six additional hospitalizations. No deaths have been reported.
The CDC also reopened an earlier 2026 food safety investigation after new illnesses were identified, linking multiple outbreaks to moringa leaf products and supplements sold nationwide.
On May 26, Total Nutrition Inc. recalled several moringa capsule products, including TNVitamins Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa 10,000 mg and Doctor’s Pride Complete Green Superfood Ultra Potent Moringa 10,000 mg capsules.
Affected TNVitamins products include lots 2507199, 2512-304 and 2793. The recalled Doctor’s Pride product includes lot 2507199.
The newest recall follows earlier actions involving other moringa-related supplements. In January, Why Not Natural recalled its Pure Organic Moringa Green Superfood capsules, while Superfoods Inc. recalled all Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders sold throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
According to the CDC, some recalled products may still be in consumers’ homes.
“Do not use any recalled products,” the agency stated in its consumer advisory. “If you have any of these recalled products in your home, throw them out or return them to the store.”
Health officials also advised consumers to wash any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with the recalled products using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher.
Salmonella infections typically cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps beginning six hours to six days after exposure. Most people recover within four to seven days without treatment, but severe infections can require hospitalization.
The CDC said children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems face a greater risk of serious illness.
The investigation remains open as federal officials continue tracing the source of contamination and evaluating whether additional products should be included in the outbreak response.
