The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has ended its investigation into a Salmonella outbreak tied to moringa leaf powder. A total of 97 cases have been recorded, with 32 new cases since the CDC’s previous update on January 29.

Illness onsets ranged from August 22, 2025, to February 27, 2026. The outbreak resulted in 26 hospitalizations but no deaths and was the first of two Salmonella outbreaks related to contaminated moringa powder in the past six months. The CDC said the two outbreaks are unrelated. 

The average age of case-patients was 44, and 61% were males. 

Wisconsin had the highest case count, with 12, followed by New York (eight) and Minnesota (seven). 

Of the 67 people interviewed, 59 (88%) reported eating a product containing moringa leaf powder, including 55 who reported Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders only, three who reported Why Not Natural moringa powder capsules only, and one who reported consuming both products.

These products have a long shelf-life and may still be in people's homes. Check your home for recalled products and throw them away or return them.
