The CDC and FDA are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to Mogo brand moringa supplement capsules, with 18 people infected across 14 states and 7 hospitalizations reported. No deaths have been reported.
The earliest recorded illness began on Feb. 3, 2026, with cases continuing through April 7, 2026. Of eight people interviewed, six reported consuming moringa powder capsules, including four who specifically identified Mogo brand capsules, according to the FDA.
On May 25, Mogo Moringa LLC, based in Saint Louis, Missouri, voluntarily recalled two lots of its Pure Moringa Oleifera capsules: lot 15525AA with an expiration date of June 2027, and lot 00926AA with an expiration date of January 2028. The capsules are sold in white plastic bottles with a green label and were available online through Amazon $AMZN, eBay, and mogomoringa.com.
The company said independent third-party laboratory testing of retained samples from the affected lots detected no salmonella, and that the recall is being conducted as a precaution in coordination with the FDA.
The CDC advises consumers not to eat any recalled capsules and to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Surfaces and items that may have contacted the recalled product should be washed with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Consumers who experience diarrhea accompanied by a fever above 102°F, bloody diarrhea, diarrhea lasting more than two days, or signs of dehydration should contact a healthcare provider.
A salmonella infection typically produces fever, gastrointestinal cramping, and diarrhea, with onset generally occurring between six hours and six days after a person consumes contaminated food or drink. Healthy adults generally recover on their own within about a week, but the illness can turn serious for young children, older adults, and those whose immune systems are compromised, who may require hospital care.
The Mogo Moringa investigation is separate from a broader, ongoing salmonella outbreak also linked to moringa-based supplements. As of May 27, that probe — which the FDA and CDC reopened following a wave of new illness reports — had tallied 119 cases spanning 36 states, with the earliest going back to August 2025, according to Food Safety News. Several other brands have also issued recalls in connection with that wider probe, including Total Nutrition Inc., Why Not Natural, and Live it Up, according to Food Safety News.
