Total Nutrition Inc. has announced an expansion of its recall for certain moringa-containing dietary supplements, specifically TNvitamins and Doctor's Pride Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa Capsules, due to the potential for *Salmonella* contamination. This expanded recall, initially reported on June 11, 2026, follows a further review of the supply chain and affects additional product lots.
*Salmonella* is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with *Salmonella* often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, *Salmonella* infection can result in the organism entering the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.
The recalled products were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders. The affected products include specific lot numbers and expiration dates for both the TNvitamins and Doctor's Pride brands of Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa Capsules. Consumers are urged to check the FDA's official recall notice for a complete list of affected products, including UPC codes, lot numbers, and expiration dates, to determine if they possess any of the recalled items.
Total Nutrition Inc. is advising all consumers who have purchased these products to immediately discontinue use and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Total Nutrition Inc. directly. This recall underscores the importance of rigorous quality control in the dietary supplement industry, particularly for products derived from plant materials that may be susceptible to microbial contamination. While not directly related to this recall, it's worth noting that products like G ENDURANCE BLACKBERRY ENERGY GEL, BLACKBERRY (FoodScore 4, snack) undergo different regulatory and testing processes due to their distinct product categories.
