The same reason text stands in another record too — 178 of 534 wordings are shared (Green Jeeva)
The U.S. FDA classified 2,490 kg of bulk "Organic Moringa Powder" (15 kg bags, product code GJ96) from Green Jeeva LLC as Class I — its most serious category — after the moringa powder ingredient tested positive for Salmonella. The material went to four consignees who used it for further processing and distribution.

Key points
- Recall number H-1180-2026; FDA Class I, the most serious category; status Ongoing.
- The product is bulk "Organic Moringa Powder," 15 kg bags, product code GJ96, totaling 2,490 kg.
- The reason is that the moringa powder ingredient tested positive for Salmonella.
- Distribution: four consignees who used the ingredient for further processing and distribution — so finished products reach shelves under other names.
- Voluntary, firm-initiated. Initiated 2026-07-08; reported 2026-07-29.
- The reason texts of the 1,408 FDA recall records this site holds as of 2026-09-01 reduce to 534 wordings, 178 of them shared across 1,052 records.
1A recall of something that never reaches a shelf
This is not a product a consumer picks up in a store. It is bulk material in 15 kg bags, supplied on the assumption that other firms will use it as an ingredient in their own products. The FDA record describes distribution as going to four consignees who used the ingredient for further processing and distribution — meaning what actually reaches consumers is not this powder but other products, under other names, containing it. That extra step is precisely what makes ingredient-stage recalls hard to follow.
2Dried botanical powders and Salmonella
Moringa is a plant material made by drying and grinding leaves, used in supplements and foods. A dried powder has little moisture, so bacteria do not multiply readily in it — but Salmonella is known to survive for long periods in dry environments. Production flows for dried powders also often lack a kill step such as heat treatment, so contamination present in the raw material carries straight through to the finished product.
The stated reason here, that the ingredient tested positive, points to exactly that upstream detection.
3Another moringa recall reported the same day
The same report date, 2026-07-29, also carries a retail moringa product (TNVitamins capsules and powder, Salmonella contamination). The enforcement record does not establish a relationship between them, and this site does not assert that they are the same event.
Still, the fact that the same material shows Class I Salmonella recalls at both ends of the chain — bulk ingredient and retail product — in the same period is instructive about the risk profile the material itself carries.
4The same reason text stands in other records
Across the 1,408 FDA recall records this site holds as of 2026-09-01, the reason texts reduce to 534 distinct wordings. Of those, 178 are shared by two or more records, covering 1,052 records in all.
One event splits into several records by strength, pack or consignee. Grouping records by identical reason text brings out the outline of a single event that the run of numbers alone conceals. This record shares its cause with another reported the same day.
Why it matters
For a manufacturer buying ingredients to make its own products, a Class I recall of bulk material translates immediately into a decision about recalling finished goods. Because dried botanical powders often lack a kill step, incoming microbial testing, lot-level records of where each lot was used, and a prepared procedure for notifying downstream customers are the key controls. That the distribution record stops at "four consignees" means identifying the finished products is left to each of those firms.
