The FDA’s warning for Ambrosia Brands moringa powder has been updated to include numerous foreign countries.
The powder comes in capsule form and has been traced to an outbreak of Salmonella Newport disease in the United States.
The related capsules are sold under the Rosabella brand.
This outbreak is separate from the Salmonella Richmond outbreak caused by Member’s Mark and other brands of moringa.
The new outbreak has infected seven people in seven states. The illness began between November 7, 2025 and January 8 of this year. Three of the patients required hospitalization, a high rate for salmonella outbreaks. No deaths were reported. Sick people live in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and Washington.
This outbreak is particularly important because the Salmonella bacteria that cause the disease are resistant to all first-line antibiotics typically recommended for treating Salmonella infections.
The FDA has recommended that Ambrosia Brands LLC recall all Rosabella brand moringa powder capsules from the market. The company agreed to recall only certain lots. please Click here View a complete list of lot codes and expiration dates for potentially contaminated products.
