Why Not Natural Recalls Organic Moringa – Green Superfood Over Possible Salmonella Contamination

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Why Not Natural is voluntarily recalling its Why Not Natural Organic Moringa – Green Superfood capsules due to potential contamination with Salmonella, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. According to the FDA, the recall follows an ongoing outbreak investigation involving other products containing moringa powder. As a result, regulators said the company sold the affected supplements nationwide through its website and third-party online retailers.

Why Not Natural recall: quick summary

In response, Why Not Natural has pulled its Organic Moringa – Green Superfood capsules from the market after the FDA identified a possible link to Salmonella contamination. During the distribution period, the company sold the product online across the U.S. from July 2025 through January 2026. So far, the FDA has not confirmed any illnesses, but it urges consumers to stop using the supplement immediately.

What happened?

Meanwhile, the FDA said Why Not Natural initiated the recall after regulators identified the product during an ongoing outbreak investigation involving Salmonella in moringa-containing supplements. In its statement to regulators, the company said it became aware of the issue through FDA testing tied to that investigation.

Specifically, Why Not Natural packaged the recalled product in a 120-capsule bottle labeled Organic Moringa – Green Superfood with lot number A25G051 and an expiration date of July 2028. Additionally, the company distributed it nationwide through its e-commerce site and third-party retailers, including Amazon, between July 2025 and January 2026.

In its recall alert, the FDA warned that “Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.” Furthermore, the agency noted that healthy individuals may experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
