On July 17, 2026, the FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, completed the investigation of illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules distributed by MOGO Moringa LLC of St. Louis, MO, and declared this outbreak over. Based on epidemiological information collected by the CDC, a total of 34 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella were reported from 14 states. Illnesses started on dates ranging from August 27, 2025, to June 21, 2026. One additional person reported eating the moringa capsules while breastfeeding. This woman's infant was sick with the outbreak strain. Of the 17 people interviewed, 14 (82%) reported taking moringa powder capsules, including 11 who reported taking Mogo brand capsules. Of 25 people with information available, 11 have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. As part of this investigation, FDA and state partners conducted traceback and onsite inspections and collected samples to determine the source of contamination. Based on traceback records, FDA learned that MOGO Moringa LLC sourced all of its moringa leaf powder from India. FDA sent investigators to the ingredient supplier and manufacturer for MOGO Moringa LLC. At the conclusion of both inspections, observations citing deficiencies were issued to both facilities. The Washington Department of Health collected an open container of MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules that was positive for the strain of Salmonella causing illnesses in this outbreak. The Tennessee Department of Health collected an open container of MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules containing the same Salmonella strain as the outbreak strain. The Florida Department of Health also collected an open container of MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules, which tested positive for the same strain of Salmonella as the outbreak strain and for one other strain of Salmonella. To further protect public health, the FDA has increased screening of imported moringa powder from India for Salmonella. The recalled product should no longer be available for sale, but it does have a long shelf life. Consumers should check their homes for the recalled product and dispose of it. FDA's outbreak investigation is complete. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-moringa-leaf-powder-may-2026?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
