Super greens powder supplements sold at Sam's Club linked to salmonella
outbreak
[November 01, 2025]
At least 11 people have been sickened, including three who were
hospitalized, with salmonella infections linked to powder supplements
sold at Sam's Club stores nationwide and online, federal health
officials said Friday.
Member's Mark Super Greens Powder Supplements have been pulled from
store shelves because they contain moringa leaf powder that may be
contaminated with salmonella bacteria, the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said.
Infections were confirmed in seven states: Florida, Kansas, Michigan,
North Carolina, New York, South Carolina and Virginia. Illnesses were
reported between May and September.
The source of the salmonella was traced to a single lot of organic
moringa leaf powder imported from Vallon Farm Direct in Jodhpur, India,
according to an investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
State health officials in Virginia and Michigan collected and tested
samples of the product from the homes of people who fell ill.

 Moringa is a plant native to India
and other countries prized for essential nutrients including
protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, according to research
published by the National Institutes of Health. Its leaves can be
dried and powdered.
Consumers should not eat the supplements and should
throw them away or return them to the store for a refund.
Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, severe
vomiting, dehydration and stomach cramps. Most people who get sick
recover within a week. Infections can be severe in young children,
older adults and people with weakened immune systems, who may
require hospitalization.
