Salmonella Outbreak From Super Greens Powder Sickens Virginia and New York Residents
Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Dietary Supplement Affects Seven States
A multi-state salmonella outbreak has been linked to a popular dietary supplement, causing illness in 11 people across seven U.S. states, including Virginia and New York, according to recent warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The affected states include Florida, Kansas, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Three individuals have been hospitalized, though no deaths have been reported so far.
Product Involved: Member’s Mark Super Greens
The illnesses have been traced back to Member’s Mark Super Greens, a dietary supplement powder that contains moringa leaf powder. This product was sold nationwide at Sam’s Club stores and online. Following the discovery of contamination, the company has halted distribution. However, officials caution that some consumers may still have the product at home.
The CDC and FDA are urging all consumers to immediately throw away or return the product. All lot codes and best-by dates of Member’s Mark Super Greens are affected by the 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 emphasized.
Source of Contamination
According to the FDA, the contamination originated from a single lot of organic moringa leaf powder supplied by Vallon Farm Direct PVT LTD based in Jodhpur, India. The specific batch involved is lot VFD/ORG/MORP/L/24 (BBD November 2027). This batch was distributed to multiple U.S. distributors, leading to a nationwide recall.
Investigators confirmed the link between the outbreak and the supplement after samples collected from the homes of ill individuals in Virginia and Michigan tested positive for the Salmonella Richmond strain.
“As part of this investigation, all Member’s Mark Super Greens dietary supplement powder has been recalled, regardless of lot codes and best by/use before dates,” the FDA stated in its latest update on Friday, October 31.
Ongoing Investigation and Warnings
Officials warn 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. Those who develop symptoms of a salmonella infection—such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps—should seek medical attention. Symptoms typically appear within 12 to 72 hours of exposure.
Sam’s Club has notified customers directly and has stopped selling the supplement. The FDA continues to investigate how and where the contamination occurred.
What Should Consumers Do?
- Stop using any Member’s Mark Super Greens product.
- Throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
- Sanitize any surfaces or containers that may have touched the product.
- Contact a healthcare provider if symptoms develop.
Consumers are encouraged to stay informed about updates from the CDC and FDA as the situation evolves.
