The hazard: Salmonella contamination

Salmonella is what triggered this notice. The bacteria transfer readily from hands and surfaces, which is why the clean-up matters as much as the disposal.

What the notice says: Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Why it matters: Salmonella is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness in the United States. It spreads easily from a contaminated product to hands, taps, cloths and other food in the same kitchen.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

The CDC describes salmonellosis as diarrhoea, fever and stomach cramps that usually begin between six hours and six days after exposure and last about four to seven days. Most people recover without treatment. Children under five, adults over 65 and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to become seriously ill. Seek care for diarrhoea with a high fever, bloody stools, vomiting that stops you keeping liquids down, diarrhoea lasting more than three days, or signs of dehydration such as very little urine, a dry mouth or dizziness when standing.

Products covered by this recall

Organic Supergreens Powder Mix and Organic Moringa Leaf Powder

What the company announced

Brooklyn, NY – Food To Live, of Brooklyn, NY, is recalling its packaged Organic Moringa Leaf Powder (dried Moringa oleifera) and its Organic Supergreens Powder Mix distributed under the Food To Live brand that are in the following sizes:

ORGANIC MORINGA LEAF POWDER, in 8 ounce, 1 pound, 2 pound, 4 pound, 8 pound, 16 pound, and 44 pound bags.

ORGANIC SUPERGREENS POWDER MIX in 8 ounce, 1 pound, 1.5 pound, 3 pound, 6 pound, and 12 pound bags.

These products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella . Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism entering the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.

The recalled Organic Moringa Powder was distributed nationwide through both retail and wholesale channels. It was sold directly from Food To Live’s website and shipped to customers across the United States. The product was also available on third-party e-commerce platforms, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target, Etsy, and eBay. In addition, bulk quantities from the affected lot were sold to food manufacturers and other businesses through Food To Live’s wholesale division.

“Organic Moringa Leaf Powder” and “Organic Supergreens Powder Mix” are packaged in plastic stand-up pouches of various sizes (ranging from 8 ounces to 44 pounds). Only packages with lot codes starting with “SO-69006” and ending with “SO-72558” (printed directly onto the back of the bag) are affected. No other Food To Live products and lots are involved in this recall.

This recall was initiated after the FDA notified Food To Live that a specific supplier lot of organic moringa powder tested positive for Salmonella and has been linked to an outbreak of salmonellosis . Multiple illnesses have been reported in connection with this contaminated lot across several states (FDA and CDC are investigating these cases). Food To Live has immediately ceased distribution of this product.

We have suspended production and distribution of Organic Moringa Leaf Powder while we and the FDA continue to investigate the source and extent of the problem. Food To Live is working closely with the FDA to ensure all potentially unsafe product is removed from commerce.

Consumers who have purchased Food To Live Organic Moringa Powder or Food To Live Organic Supergreens Powder Mix with the lot codes mentioned above should not consume it. If you have the product, we urge you to dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

What to do about Salmonella

Food To Live — Salmonella is what triggered this notice. The bacteria transfer readily from hands and surfaces, which is why the clean-up matters as much as the disposal.

  1. Stop eating the product and keep it away from anything ready to eat.
  2. Bag it and bin it, or take it back to the store — do not feed it to pets or livestock either.
  3. Wash your hands with soap and water after handling the pack, and wash any dish, utensil or surface it touched in hot soapy water.
  4. If you repackaged or froze it, check the freezer too. Salmonella is not killed by freezing.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: If you have the product, we urge you to dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
