TOPIC: TNVitamins and Doctor’s Pride Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa Capsules by Total Nutrition: Recall Expansion - Because of Possible Health Risk Following Further Supply Chain Review
AUDIENCE: Consumer, Patient, Health Care Professional, Pharmacy, Gastroenterology
ISSUE: Total Nutrition 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. This expansion follows an ongoing supply chain investigation that identified additional lot numbers linked to the same raw material lot that prompted the original recall. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.
The recalled product was distributed nationally through the online platforms, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Target, and the company's websites, http://www.tnvitamins.com/, and https://www.doctorspride.com/.
Total Nutrition is including Lots 2503104, and 2725 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.
No other TNVitamins or Doctor’s Pride products are involved.

BACKGROUND: The products being recalled are sold as dietary supplements.
The recall was initiated following notification from the FDA and the CDC that these products may be implicated in an ongoing investigation associated with moringa-containing dietary supplement products. Total Nutrition 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 supply chain traceability review which identified a common raw material from Lot 2507199 or 2512-304, one of the original recalled lots.
