Shoppers are being urged to check their cupboards after an urgent recall was issued for a popular supplement sold in Ireland.
Specific batches of Rosabella Moringa 100% Pure capsules have been pulled from sale due to the possible presence of Salmonella.
The product, which originates from the US, has been sold in Ireland and is commonly used as a herbal supplement.
Moringa is a plant based supplement often marketed for its potential health benefits, including supporting energy levels, boosting the immune system and providing antioxidants. It is also sometimes taken to help reduce inflammation and support overall wellbeing.
However, The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has confirmed that certain batches, packaged with 60 capsules in white plastic bottles, may be contaminated.
A spokesperson said: “Ambrosia Brands, LLC is recalling the below batches of its Rosabella Moringa capsules due to the possible presence of Salmonella.
“The recalled batches are packaged in white plastic bottles. The batch code is printed on the bottom of the bottles and is the middle seven digits of the code printed above the expiry date. The affected batches have best-before dates ranging from 03/2027 to 11/2027.”
Consumers are being advised not to consume any of the affected batches.
Salmonella can make vulnerable people seriously ill. The FSAI explained: “People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between six and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps.
“The illness usually lasts four to seven days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.”
Wholesalers and distributors have been asked to contact their affected customers, recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to customers.
Retailers have been requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
The FSAI stated: “Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.”
