(February 13, 2026) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Ambrosia Brands, LLC is voluntarily recalling certain lots of its Rosabella Moringa Capsules due to possible contamination with Salmonella. According to the FDA, the recall was initiated after an investigation revealed a possible link between the product and an outbreak of illnesses. The agency confirmed that “the FDA and CDC have reported that the outbreak may be linked to Rosabella Moringa Capsules,” posing a serious health risk to consumers.

Rosabella Recall: Quick Summary

Ambrosia Brands, LLC has issued a nationwide recall for its Rosabella Moringa Capsules, sold online via the company website and TikTok Shop. The recall stems from potential Salmonella contamination, which has already been linked to 7 reported illnesses and 3 hospitalizations. Consumers who purchased these supplements between February 2025 and early 2026 are urged to stop using them immediately and check their bottles for the specific lot codes listed below.

What Happened?

The FDA said Ambrosia Brands, LLC initiated the recall after reports of illness surfaced.

The recall was announced on February 13, 2026, impacting products distributed nationwide through direct-to-consumer channels.

“To date, there have been 7 illnesses resulting in 3 hospitalizations across the United States due to Salmonella contamination, 3 of which may be linked to a single product”.

What Caused the Issue?

According to the FDA notice, the cause of the recall is contamination with Salmonella bacteria. The company stated:

“We have discontinued use and purchase of all raw moringa leaf powder from the raw material supplier of the above referenced lots,”

Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) can result in fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, the organism can get into the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.

Behind the Brand

Ambrosia Brands, LLC markets Rosabella as a wellness brand, leveraging social media platforms like TikTok to reach consumers interested in natural health solutions like Moringa. The brand’s reliance on direct-to-consumer channels means that traditional retail checks might not always apply, placing a heavy burden on the manufacturer to vet raw material suppliers. This recall highlights the risks inherent in the global supply chain for botanical supplements, where raw powders can be susceptible to bacterial contamination if not properly treated.

Other Relevant Recalls

This recall is part of a series of safety alerts impacting the supplement and food sectors in early 2026. Akkarco LLC recently recalled honey products after FDA testing found hidden drug ingredients. In the broader food industry, Wellsley Farms recalled Atlantic Salmon due to Listeria risks, and Mays Chemical Company recalled pork loins due to missed inspections. Additionally, Chips Ahoy! expanded its recall of cookie bites due to choking hazards.

Supply chain analyst Mark Wilson notes:

“Botanical supplements are a frequent target for bacterial recalls because they are agricultural products. If the raw leaf powder isn’t sterilized correctly, pathogens like Salmonella can survive the encapsulation process.”

Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, said that while the Ambrosia Brands recall highlights a single supply chain failure, it also underscores a broader truth in the food industry:

“Food safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about trust. Every recall reminds us how vital it is to maintain transparency, rigorous checks, and supplier accountability.”

Broader Pattern

The link between social media marketplaces and supplement recalls is becoming more visible. As brands launch quickly on platforms like TikTok Shop, the speed of distribution can sometimes outpace traditional quality assurance steps. This incident also reinforces the FDA’s stance on the importance of verifying raw ingredients, especially for “superfood” powders like Moringa which are often imported.

Ensuring Safe Eats

Consumers purchasing supplements online should be aware that “natural” does not always mean “safe.” Verifying that a brand uses third-party testing can help mitigate risks.

At Source86, we help food brands manage ingredient sourcing, FSQA oversight, and private label production with transparency and precision, ensuring that when recalls happen, supply chains are prepared to respond quickly.
