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: Why Not Natural, Houston, Texas, is voluntarily recalling its Why Not Natural Organic Moringa - Green Superfood because they may be contaminated with Salmonella , 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.

Organic Moringa – Green Superfood

What the company announced

Why Not Natural, Houston, Texas, is voluntarily recalling its Why Not Natural Organic Moringa - Green Superfood because they may be contaminated with Salmonella , 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 getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The Moringa Capsules were distributed nationwide through mail orders on Why Not Natural’s e-commerce site and third-party on-line retailers including Amazon.com from July 2025 to January 2026.

The product is packaged in a 120 capsule bottle marked with lot # A25G051 on the bottom and with an expiration date of 07/2028 stamped on the bottom.

The potential for contamination was noted by FDA as part of ongoing outbreak investigation of Salmonella in other products containing moringa powder. Distribution and production of the product has been suspended while FDA and Why Not Natural continue their investigation and Why Not Natural has further notified its customers of the recall.

Consumers who have purchased Why Not Natural Moringa Capsules are urged to stop usage and may return them to the company. Consumers may contact Why Not Natural for a full refund or pose questions at [email protected] .

Check your product

The notice names 2 codes you can read straight off the package. Type the one printed on yours and the list below narrows to it.

Lot or batch code

Usually ink-stamped near the seam, the cap or the bottom of the pack.

  • A25G051

Best-by / use-by date

Printed beside the lot code, not on the price sticker.

  • 07/2028

Codes are lifted verbatim from the FDA — Company recall announcements notice. A code that is missing here may still be covered — the official notice is the complete list.

What to do about Salmonella

Why Not Natural — 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. Wash your hands with soap and water after handling the pack, and wash any dish, utensil or surface it touched in hot soapy water.
  3. If you repackaged or froze it, check the freezer too. Salmonella is not killed by freezing.
  4. Watch everyone who ate it for about a week, and call a doctor sooner for a child under five or an adult over 65.

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: Consumers who have purchased Why Not Natural Moringa Capsules are urged to stop usage and may return them to the company.
