FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating salmonella reports in multiple states.
Three different companies, Member’s Mark Super Greens, Food To Live and Moringa power sold on Africa Imports’ website, have now issued recalls connected to the outbreak as they all used the same supplier.Â
The Food To Live products were sold nationwide on their website and others like Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target, Etsy and eBay.Â
“We apologize for the inconvenience and concern this recall may cause our customers,” said Food To Live in the recall alert. “Our company is committed to ensuring the quality of our products and the well-being of our consumers.”
The recall urges customers with the product to throw it out or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. No one should consume the products with the above lot code.Â
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with the bacteria typically experience fever, diarrhea that may be bloody, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain within 12 to 72 hours of consumption. Symptoms usually last four to seven days.
In rare cases, salmonella can enter the bloodstream and cause more severe illnesses including infected aneurysms, endocarditis and arthritis.
