1How a supplement is actually used
The product is moringa leaf, dried and powdered, sold in two forms: capsules and loose powder. Supplements are often taken daily over long stretches for general wellbeing, and a single purchase stays on hand for weeks or months. They are also consumed without cooking, which is why contamination reaches the person directly.
FDA Class I applies when consumption carries a reasonable probability of serious harm to health or death, and this recall sits in that class because of Salmonella contamination.
2Both the capsules and the powder
The recall covers two items: 1,200 mg capsules and a 96 g powder. When different dosage forms are made from the same raw material, contamination at the ingredient stage puts both into scope at once. The quantity totals 8,492 units, and distribution is recorded as nationwide rather than by state — a defining feature of this case.
3Another moringa recall recorded the same day
The same report date, 2026-07-29, also carries a bulk moringa powder recall (Green Jeeva, 15 kg bags, 2,490 kg, ingredient positive for Salmonella), also Class I. The enforcement record does not establish a relationship between them, and this site does not assert that they are the same event.
Even so, dried botanical powders tend to have production flows without a heat kill step, and Salmonella survives in dry conditions — together these point to a risk profile common to this class of material.
4The first letter of the number gives the product type
Sorting the 1,408 FDA recall records this site holds as of 2026-09-01 by the first letter of the recall number gives 779 beginning with Z, all devices; 340 with H, almost all food; and 288 with D, all drugs.
| First letter | Product type | Records |
|---|---|---|
| Z | Devices | 779 |
| H | Food | 340 |
| D | Drugs | 288 |
| N | Food (the exception) | 1 |
A single record beginning with N is the only exception. This record's number begins with H, placing it among foods. A supplement looks like a medicine and is regulated as a food, and the first letter of the number states that position directly.
Why it matters
A nationwide supplement sells through stores, an owned web shop, and marketplaces, so recall notices reach buyers at very different rates by channel. Preparing separate procedures for channels that allow purchase-history notification and those that do not is the practical point. Because ingredient-stage contamination reaches several dosage forms at once, lot-level records of where each ingredient lot was used speed up defining the scope of the recall.
