The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of certain lots of Rosabella brand moringa capsules due to a risk of contamination with a strain of drug-resistant Salmonella newport. So far, seven people across seven states have been infected, with three requiring hospitalization. The recalled products were sold online through the brand's website, TikTok Shop, and other e-commerce platforms.

The distributor, Ambrosia Brands LLC, has agreed to recall 52 specific lot codes of the product, which were sold nationwide online since February 2025.
