The Moringa leaf powder Salmonella outbreak has ended with 11 people sickened in seven states, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Epidemiologic, traceback and laboratory data showed that products containing moringa leaf powder were contaminated with Salmonella Richmond and made people sick.
The case count by state is: Florida (2), Kansas (2), Michigan (1), North Carolina (1), New York (1), South Carolina (1), and Virginia (3). Illness onset dates range from May 12, 2025 to September 4, 2025. The hospitalization rate is 27%, higher than the typical hospitalization rate for a Salmonella outbreak, which is 20%. The patient age range is from 13 to 65 years old.
In interviews with public health officials, 9 out of 10 patients said they ate powdered dietary supplements before getting sick. Six of those people said they ate Member’s Mark Super Greens Powder. Three people reported consuming other products containing moringa leaf powder, two reported Food to Live moringa leaf powder, and one reported eating Africa Imports moringa leaf powder.
Whole genome sequencing showed that bacteria from sick people’s isolates were closely related genetically. This showed that people in this outbreak likely got sick from eating the same thing.
Officials in Michigan found Salmonella that was closely related to patient isolates in an open container of Member’s Mark Super Greens Powder. Officials in Virginia found the pathogen in an open container of Africa Imports moringa leaf powder. And officials in Florida found the pathogen in an open container of Food to Live moringa leaf powder.
