Recall of Organic Moringa Leaf Powder Due to Potential Salmonella Contamination

Africa Imports is voluntarily recalling its Organic Moringa Leaf Powder (1 kilogram box) because it may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, infection can lead to more severe conditions such as arterial infections, endocarditis, or arthritis.

The recalled Organic Moringa Leaf Powder was sold nationwide through the company’s website, africaimports.comExternal Link Disclaimer. The affected product is packaged in 1-kilogram boxes labeled “Organic Moringa Leaf Powder.” Photos of the affected product are attached to this notice to assist customers in identifying the product. All Organic Moringa Leaf Powder purchased after 06/05/2025 is included in this recall.

As of today (November 6, 2025), we have not been informed of any illness from the Moringa powder sold in this lot.

We were informed that some of the Moringa powder in this lot has tested positive for Salmonella. Out of an abundance of caution, we have implemented a recall of all of the moringa product sold in this batch.

Customers are urged to stop using the product immediately and dispose of it. Africa Imports requests that customers confirm disposal by replying to the recall notification email or contacting the company directly.

If you have further distributed this product, please identify your customers and notify them of this recall. You may include a copy of this notice in your communications.

This recall is being conducted in cooperation with U. S Food and Drug Administration.

For additional information, please contact Wayne Kiltz, President of Africa Imports, at 201-457-1995 x236 or africa@africaimports.com.
