A widespread recall has been initiated for specific batches of Rosabella Moringa 100% Pure capsules sold in Ireland, following concerns of potential Salmonella contamination, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) confirmed Monday. The US-manufactured herbal supplement, popular for its purported health benefits, is being removed from shelves nationwide.
The FSAI stated that Ambrosia Brands, LLC is responsible for the recall, citing the possible presence of the bacteria in capsules packaged in white plastic bottles. Consumers are advised not to consume any of the affected batches.
According to the FSAI, symptoms of Salmonella infection typically manifest between 12 and 36 hours after exposure, though this can range from six to 72 hours. Common symptoms include diarrhea, which can be bloody, as well as fever, headache, and abdominal cramps. While the illness usually resolves within four to seven days, severe cases can require hospitalization, particularly among the elderly, infants, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
The recall affects batches with best-before dates ranging from March 2027 to November 2027. The batch code, crucial for identifying affected products, is printed on the bottom of the bottles and consists of the middle seven digits of the code above the expiry date. Specific batch codes and dates include 5020591 (03/2027), 5020592, 5020593, 5020594, 5020595, 5020596, 5030246 (04/2027), and numerous others extending through 5100039 (11/2027), as detailed by the FSAI.
Moringa is a plant-based supplement marketed for its potential to boost energy levels, support the immune system, provide antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellbeing.
Wholesalers and distributors have been directed to contact customers and remove the implicated batches from sale, alongside displaying recall notices at points of sale. Retailers have been instructed to remove the products from shelves and post recall notices.
The FDA has also initiated an outbreak investigation of extensively drug-resistant Salmonella linked to Moringa powder, including Rosabella-brand capsules, in February 2026.
