Why Foods Alive Issued the Moringa Powder Recall
An ingredient supplier alerted Foods Alive that a sample tied to the lot above tested positive for Salmonella. Although the company has received no illness reports, it is voluntarily recalling the entire lot while it cooperates with the FDA investigation and sanitizes production lines.
Salmonella Symptoms and Health Risks
Most healthy adults infected with Salmonella experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps 6–72 hours after exposure. Severe infections can spread to the bloodstream and lead to endocarditis, arterial infections, or arthritis—posing the greatest danger to young children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems.
