FDA Human Foods Program
The following is an update from FDA of concern to our subscribers.
CDC declares outbreak over. FDA’s investigation is complete.
The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, investigated illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules distributed by MOGO Moringa LLC of St. Louis, MO. As of July 17, 2026, CDC has declared this outbreak over.
Based on epidemiological information collected by CDC, a total of 34 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella were reported from 14 states. Illnesses started on dates ranging from August 27, 2025, to June 21, 2026. One additional person reported eating the moringa capsules while breastfeeding. This woman’s infant was sick with the outbreak strain. Of the 17 people interviewed, 14 (82%) reported eating moringa powder capsules, including 11 who reported Mogo brand moringa capsules. Of 25 people with information available, 11 have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
As part of this investigation, FDA and state partners conducted a traceback investigation, onsite inspections, and collected samples to determine a source of contamination. Based on traceback records, FDA learned that MOGO Moringa LLC sourced all of their moringa leaf powder from India.
FDA sent investigators to the ingredient supplier and manufacturer for MOGO Moringa LLC. At the conclusion of both inspections, observations citing deficiencies were issued to both facilities.
The Washington Department of Health collected an open container of MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules that was positive for the strain of Salmonella causing illnesses in this outbreak. Tennessee Department of Health collected an open container of MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules with the same strain of Salmonella as the outbreak strain. The Florida Department of Health also collected an open container of MOGO-brand moringa powder capsules which was positive for the same strain of Salmonella as the outbreak strain and one other strain of Salmonella.
To further protect public health, FDA has increased screening of imported moringa powder from India for Salmonella. Recalled product should no longer be available for sale but does have a long shelf life. Consumers should check their homes for recalled product and throw it away. FDA’s outbreak investigation is complete.
