The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has issued a warning to consumers about a recall involving certain moringa powder capsules that have been associated with an outbreak of drug-resistant salmonella. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported seven cases connected to the recalled product across seven states, including one case in Illinois.
The CDC has traced the outbreak to specific lots of Rosabella brand moringa powder capsules distributed by Ambrosia Brands LLC. The company has agreed to recall bottles sold in white plastic containers with green labels, covering 52 lot codes with expiration dates in 2027. Lot codes are located on the bottom of each bottle. These products were sold nationwide, mainly through online platforms such as the company’s website, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Shein, and eBay.
Consumers are urged not to consume any product included in the recall. They should discard or return affected items and clean any surfaces or objects that may have come into contact with the capsules using hot soapy water. People should also be alert for symptoms like fever, dehydration, bloody or persistent diarrhea, or vomiting. Anyone who has consumed the product and is experiencing symptoms is advised to inform their healthcare provider.
More details about the specific lot codes involved can be found on the FDA’s website. Additional information regarding this outbreak is available at Outbreak Investigation of Extensively Drug-Resistant Salmonella: Moringa Powder (February 2026) | FDA.
