Moringa Supplement Recall Expanded Due to Salmonella Outbreak
Moringa Supplement Recall Expanded Due to Salmonella Outbreak
Moringa is a popular herbal supplement often used by breastfeeding mothers to help support milk production. Because many families rely on moringa as part of their lactation journey, we wanted to share important information regarding a recent product recall.
According to reports, Total Nutrition has expanded its recall of certain moringa capsule products due to concerns about potential Salmonella contamination. The recall is associated with an ongoing Salmonella outbreak investigation.
Why Is This Important?
Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause illness in people who consume contaminated products. Symptoms may include:
Diarrhea
Fever
Stomach cramps
Nausea
Vomiting
Headache
Symptoms typically develop within 6 hours to 6 days after exposure and may last 4 to 7 days.
While most healthy individuals recover without treatment, certain groups are at higher risk for severe illness, including:
Infants and young children
Pregnant individuals
Older adults
Individuals with weakened immune systems
What Should You Do?
If you currently use moringa supplements:
Check the product packaging and lot information.
Review the recall information to determine if your product is affected.
Stop using any recalled products immediately.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms of Salmonella infection.
Supporting Breastfeeding Families
Moringa has been commonly used as a galactagogue—a substance believed to help increase milk supply. If you have questions about maintaining or increasing your milk supply, speak with your pediatrician, healthcare provider, or lactation consultant about safe and effective options.
