Salmonella Outbreak From Super Greens Powder Sickens People in Virginia and New York: Feds Investigate

A multi-state salmonella outbreak has been linked to a popular dietary supplement, affecting individuals in seven states, including Virginia and New York. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have issued warnings about this ongoing health concern.

Health officials have reported that 11 people across Florida, Kansas, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia have been infected with salmonella. Three of these individuals have required hospitalization. Fortunately, no deaths have been reported so far.

The illnesses have been traced back to Member’s Mark Super Greens, a dietary supplement powder that contains moringa leaf powder. This product was available nationwide at Sam’s Club stores and online. In response to the outbreak, the company has halted the distribution of the product. However, officials are cautioning that some consumers may still have the supplement at home.

The CDC and FDA are urging consumers to dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase immediately. All lot codes and best-by dates of Member’s Mark Super Greens are affected by this recall.

“Do not eat any Member’s Mark Super Greens powdered supplements containing moringa leaf powder. Throw them away or return them to where you bought them,” the CDC advised.

According to the FDA, the contamination has been traced to a single lot of organic moringa leaf powder supplied by Vallon Farm Direct PVT LTD, based in Jodhpur, India. This specific batch, labeled as VFD/ORG/MORP/L/24 (BBD November 2027), was distributed to multiple US distributors, leading to a nationwide recall.

Investigations confirmed the connection after samples collected from the homes of ill individuals in Virginia and Michigan tested positive for the outbreak strain of Salmonella Richmond. As part of the investigation, all Member’s Mark Super Greens dietary supplement powders have been recalled, regardless of lot codes or best-by dates.

Officials warned that additional products containing moringa leaf powder from the same supplier could be added to the recall list as testing continues. Consumers and retailers are advised to sanitize any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with the product. If symptoms of salmonella infection develop, such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps within 12 to 72 hours of exposure, individuals should seek medical attention.

Sam’s Club has notified customers directly and has ceased the sale of the supplement. The FDA emphasized that the investigation is ongoing as they work to determine how and where the contamination occurred.
