Total Nutrition Inc. of Deer Park, NY, is expanding its recall of TNVitamins and Doctor’s Pride Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa Capsules due to the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
The products have been linked to an outbreak of Salmonella infections.
The recalled products were distributed nationally through the online platforms, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Target, and the company’s websites, tnvitamins.com and doctors pride.com. .
The product is packaged in white HDPE supplement bottles with smooth, white caps and 120 clear capsules filled with green moringa powder.
The recall was initiated following notification from the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that these products may be implicated in an ongoing investigation associated with moringa-containing dietary supplement products.
Total Nutrition Inc. has ceased distribution and sale of the identified product and has initiated removal orders across all applicable sales and fulfillment channels while the FDA, CDC and the company continue their investigation.
This expansion was discovered during a traceability review which identified a common raw material from Lot 2507199, one of the original recalled lots.
Total Nutrition Inc. is including Lot 2748 of TNVitamins Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa 10,000 mg and Doctor’s Pride Complete Green Superfood Ultra Potent Moringa 10,000 mg in the recall effective immediately.

About Salmonella infections
Food, beverages and supplements contaminated with Salmonella bacteria do not look, smell or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection. Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile.
Anyone who has consumed any of the recalled products and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days. In some cases, however, diarrhea may be so severe that patients require hospitalization.
Older adults, children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions.
Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms. However, they may still spread the infections to others.
