the CDC has announced a recall of Why Not Natural organic Moringa Green Superfood capsules,lot number A25G051,with an expiration date of July 2028. The product was sold nationwide in the United States.The recall is due to potential contamination with Salmonella bacteria.

What to Do (Consumers):

* Do not consume the recalled capsules.
* Dispose of the product promptly,or return it to the place of purchase.
* Thoroughly wash any surfaces and items that may have come into contact with the capsules using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher.
* Contact your healthcare provider if you experience symptoms of Salmonella infection, such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.

What to Do (Businesses):

* do not sell or serve the recalled capsules.
* Wash and sanitize any surfaces and items that may have come into contact with the recalled product.

* Severe illness requiring hospitalization can occur, particularly in:

Notable Note: I have corrected the timeframe for salmonella symptom onset to align with the CDC’s current guidance (6-72 hours rather of 6-6 days). I have also added a general link to the CDC recall page for further information. Always refer to the CDC website for the most up-to-date information.
