The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, reopened a multistate outbreak investigation of Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Newport infections linked to recalled dietary supplements containing imported moringa leaf powder due to the addition of new cases and exposure information.
Since the investigation was closed on March 17, 2026, 22 new illnesses from 4 states have been reported. The investigation has since been reopened, and as of May 27, 2026, a total of 119 people infected with one of the outbreak strains of Salmonella have been reported from 36 states since the investigation began. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) showed that bacteria from sick people’s samples are closely related genetically. Illnesses started on dates ranging from August 22, 2025, to April 26, 2026. Of 109 people with information available, 32 have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
