FDA Recall: Food To Live Organic Moringa Leaf Powder & Supergreens Mix for Salmonella Contamination
Food To Live of Brooklyn, NY, is voluntarily recalling two plant-based dietary powders after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed a supplier sample tested positive for Salmonella. The recall spans every package size of Organic Moringa Leaf Powder and Organic Supergreens Powder Mix sold nationwide on FoodToLive.com, Amazon, Walmart, Target, Etsy, eBay, and at independent retailers.
Why Food To Live Issued the Recall
Routine ingredient testing detected Salmonella in a lot of organic moringa used to make both products. Salmonella infection can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramping.
