Three of the sick people who were interviewed reported eating Rosabella-brand moringa powder capsules. <\/p>\n<p>The capsules were sold in white plastic bottles, with a green label and expiration dates in 2027. Consumers can identify the product by its different seven-digit lot codes, listed by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/outbreaks-foodborne-illness\/outbreak-investigation-extensively-drug-resistant-salmonella-moringa-powder-february-2026\">the FDA<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The recalled supplements were also sold online via eBay, TikTok Shop, Amazon, Shein and Tryrosabella.com. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-(5).jpeg\"  loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rosabella Moringa Supplement Capsules have been recalled after they were linked to a salmonella outbreak\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE inline-gallery-btn\"\/><\/p>\n<p>open image in gallery<\/p>\n<p>Rosabella Moringa Supplement Capsules have been recalled after they were linked to a salmonella outbreak (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/iStock-1356167499.jpeg\"  loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The popular supplement was sold on TikTok shop and Amazon\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE inline-gallery-btn\"\/><\/p>\n<p>open image in gallery<\/p>\n<p>The popular supplement was sold on TikTok shop and Amazon (Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>Salmonella infections were found in seven states: Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and Washington. Three of the seven people sickened were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. <\/p>\n<p>Consumers are urged to throw the supplements away immediately or return them to the place of purchase. <\/p>\n<p>As noted in the FDA press release, salmonella illness often occurs \u201cwithin 12 to 72 hours after eating food that is contaminated\u201d with the bacteria. Usually, symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, and can last from four to seven days. <\/p>\n<p>Many supplements have been linked to previous salmonella outbreaks in the U.S. Last month, Superfoods Inc., the manufacturer of Live it Up-brand Super Greens powder, issued a recall for its original and wild berry-flavored supplement powder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/food-and-drink\/super-greens-powder-recall-salmonella-supplement-b2901295.html?test_group=lighteradlayout\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">after it was connected to 45 illnesses reported <\/a>between August and December 2025. <\/p>\n<p>At least 12 people required hospitalization, though no fatalities have been recorded. The products were distributed nationwide, with cases identified in 21 states. <\/p>\n<p>In September, four popular dietary supplements imported from Vallon Farm Direct in Jodhpur, India, including Member\u2019s Mark Super Greens Powder, were recalled after they were linked to a major salmonella outbreak. At the time, there were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/moringa-leaf-powder-recall-salmonella-b2866013.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">11 illnesses and three hospitalizations<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Out of 10 people who got sick and were interviewed by the CDC, nine reported eating powdered dietary supplements. Six people also reported eating Member\u2019s Mark Super Greens Powder.<\/p>\n<p>Salmonella bacteria are the second leading cause of foodborne illnesses in the U.S., according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/animal-veterinary\/animal-health-literacy\/get-facts-about-salmonella\">the CDC<\/a>. The organization also notes that each year, there are 1.35 million illnesses, 420 deaths, and 26,500 hospitalizations due to salmonella.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[49,48,84,395],"class_list":["post-484384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-health","tag-nutrition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
