Food To Live Voluntarily Recalls Organic Moringa Products Because of Possible Health Risk
Food To Live, of Brooklyn, NY, is recalling its packaged Organic Moringa Leaf Powder (dried Moringa oleifera) and its Organic Supergreens Powder Mix distributed under the Food To Live brand that are in the following sizes:
ORGANIC MORINGA LEAF POWDER, in 8 ounce, 1 pound, 2 pound, 4 pound, 8 pound, 16 pound, and 44 pound bags.
ORGANIC SUPERGREENS POWDER MIX in 8 ounce, 1 pound, 1.5 pound, 3 pound, 6 pound, and 12 pound bags.
These products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. 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 entering the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
The recalled Organic Moringa Powder was distributed nationwide through both retail and wholesale channels. It was sold directly from Food To Live’s website and shipped to customers across the United States. The product was also available on third-party e-commerce platforms, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target, Etsy, and eBay. In addition, bulk quantities from the affected lot were sold to food manufacturers and other businesses through Food To Live’s wholesale division.
“Organic Moringa Leaf Powder” and “Organic Supergreens Powder Mix” are packaged in plastic stand-up pouches of various sizes (ranging from 8 ounces to 44 pounds). Only packages with lot codes starting with “SO-69006” and ending with “SO-72558” (printed directly onto the back of the bag) are affected. No other Food To Live products and lots are involved in this recall.
This recall was initiated after the FDA notified Food To Live that a specific supplier lot of organic moringa powder tested positive for Salmonella and has been linked to an outbreak of salmonellosis. Multiple illnesses have been reported in connection with this contaminated lot across several states (FDA and CDC are investigating these cases). Food To Live has immediately ceased distribution of this product.
We have suspended production and distribution of Organic Moringa Leaf Powder while we and the FDA continue to investigate the source and extent of the problem. Food To Live is working closely with the FDA to ensure all potentially unsafe product is removed from commerce.
Consumers who have purchased Food To Live Organic Moringa Powder or Food To Live Organic Supergreens Powder Mix with the lot codes mentioned above should not consume it. If you have the product, we urge you to dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

ByHeart Broadens Voluntary Recall While Investigation Continues
ByHeart a next-generation baby nutrition company, announced today that it is expanding its voluntary recall to include all batches of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Pack™ nationwide. This action is being taken in close collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), despite the fact that no unopened ByHeart product has tested positive for Clostridium botulinum spores or toxin. This action underscores ByHeart’s core mission: protecting babies above all else.“
Product Details for Voluntary Recall: The voluntary recall now applies to all batches of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and all Anywhere Packs:
Can UPC: 85004496800
Anywhere Pack (™) UPC: 85004496802
The safety and well-being of every infant who uses our formula is, and always will be, our highest priority,” said Mia Funt, Co-Founder and President of ByHeart. “This nationwide recall reflects our commitment to protecting babies and giving families clear, actionable information. Alongside this recall, we are conducting a comprehensive investigation to do our part to get the answers parents expect and deserve.
While the FDA is awaiting confirmed results of its testing, ByHeart is taking proactive steps to do all it can to protect families. The company is actively:
- Recalling all product from the market while the FDA’s comprehensive investigation seeks to identify a root cause of the broader outbreak
- Testing every batch of formula with an independent third-party laboratory—a process which has already begun
- Providing FDA and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) full access to our facilities and unopened cans to conduct testing without restriction
- Sharing results from both regulatory and independent testing publicly as they become available
Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness that occurs when Clostridium botulinum spores are ingested and then colonize the intestinal tract, producing botulinum neurotoxins in the immature gut of infants. Affected infants can present with some or all of the following signs and symptoms: constipation, poor feeding, ptosis (drooping eyelid), sluggish pupils, low muscle tone, difficulty sucking and swallowing, weak or altered cry, generalized weakness, respiratory difficulty, and possible respiratory arrest. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately.
The FDA and CDC have been conducting a broader investigation into a spike of 84 infant botulism cases that started in August. Once ByHeart was alerted on November 7, 2025, the company acted decisively. The results of the FDA’s investigation into the broader cases will help inform any additional steps as our own investigation continues.
What Consumers Should Do:
Consumers who have purchased ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Pack™ should immediately discontinue use and dispose of the product. If your infant is experiencing symptoms related to infant botulism, contact your health care provider immediately.
To report an illness or adverse event, you can:
- Call an FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator if you wish to speak directly to a person about your problem.
