Super greens powder supplements sold at Sam's Club linked to salmonella outbreak

At least 11 people have fallen ill with salmonella infections, including three who were hospitalized, after consuming powder supplements sold at Sam's Club stores nationwide and online. The contaminated products are the Member's Mark Super Greens Powder Supplements, which contain moringa leaf powder imported from India.

The outbreak was linked to a single lot of organic moringa leaf powder sourced from Vallon Farm Direct in Jodhpur, India. Infections were reported in seven states, including Florida, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, and Virginia, between May and September this year.

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include severe diarrhea, fever, vomiting, dehydration, and stomach cramps. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have advised consumers not to eat the supplements and to discard or return them to the store for a refund.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducted an investigation that identified the contaminated moringa leaf powder as the source of the outbreak. State health officials in Virginia and Michigan tested samples of the product from the homes of those who fell ill, confirming the presence of salmonella bacteria.

In total, seven states have reported illnesses linked to the contaminated supplements. Most people who contract salmonella poisoning recover within a week, but the infection can be severe for young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems, requiring hospitalization.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall alert for the affected products, urging consumers to take action immediately.
 
🤦‍♂️ The salmonella outbreak is super concerning, especially since it was linked to moringa leaf powder from India 🌿. I think it's kinda weird that the contaminated product came from just one lot sourced from Vallon Farm Direct... like, what were they doing wrong? 🤔

The CDC advice to discard or return the supplements and the FDA investigation makes sense, though. I mean, you can't be too careful when it comes to food stuffs, especially if there's a risk of salmonella poisoning 🚽.

It's also kinda interesting that most people recover within a week, but it's super serious for vulnerable folks like young kids, olds, and those with weakened immune systems 💊. Anyone who bought the affected supplements should definitely take action and get a refund or return them ASAP ⏰

And omg, 7 states have reported illnesses 🤯? That's not cool at all 😬. Better safe than sorry, right? 🙅‍♂️
 
Ugh, yeah... Salmonella outbreak 🤢. I mean, it's super serious, but at least everyone is safe now? Like, hospitals are treating people and all that jazz 💊. The thing is, I guess these supplements might be a red flag for some people? Like, the fact that they're imported from India could be a risk for food safety 🌍. But on the bright side, the FDA did their job and caught it fast ⏱️. And the Consumer Product Safety Commission is being all responsible about getting those products off shelves ASAP 📦. So yeah, it's not perfect, but we're learning from this, right? 🤗
 
Ugh, what's up with this?! 🤯 Sam's Club is straight up careless! I mean, come on, they're selling some random moringa leaf powder that ends up being contaminated with salmonella?! How does that even happen?! And now people are getting sick and hospitalization is a real concern? 🚑 Like, what's next?! They're gonna be recalling all their other products too! 🤦‍♀️ I'm not even kidding, if I were the person who bought one of these supplements, I'd be FUMING right now! 💥 I mean, you pay for something and it comes with a warning label or something, but noooo, Sam's Club just sells it to unsuspecting people like it's nobody's business. Unbelievable. 🤯
 
OMG you guys, this is so scary 🤯! I'm all about living my best healthy life, but it's crazy to think that something as simple as a supplement can be contaminated with salmonella 😷. I've been taking moringa supplements for ages and now I'm freaking out thinking if they're safe 🤔. The fact that the CDC is warning people not to eat these products and telling them to return or discard them is super responsible 👏. And honestly, it's just so important to prioritize our health and well-being 💪. Let's all make sure to stay vigilant and check the products we buy 🛍️!
 
Ugh this is just great, another mass poisoning incident due to some corporation cutting corners on quality control. I mean, who needs a refund when you can spend your days in the bathroom with diarrhea? 🤢 And let's not forget about the ones that are gonna be super sick for weeks, or worse... their immune system weakened by all the stress of having salmonella poisoning, just great. The fact that it's linked to a single lot of moringa leaf powder from India makes me think this is gonna get buried under a pile of other recalls and nobody's gonna hold anyone accountable. Mark my words, some company is gonna try to spin this as 'isolated incident' and the whole thing will be swept under the rug...
 
Ugh, this moringa leaf powder scandal is like something out of a bad 90s health fad movie 🤢... remember those "miracle" supplements that were all the rage back then? Yeah, it's like we're reliving that nightmare all over again. Can't believe Sam's Club sold these contaminated products online and in their stores - what kind of quality control is that?! 🙄

I mean, I know the moringa leaf powder is supposed to have some health benefits or whatever, but come on... if it's so good for us, why can't it even be reliably sourced from a reputable supplier? It's just another example of how our food and supplement industry can be a total mess 🤯.

And the fact that 11 people got sick is no joke - three of them ended up in the hospital, which is super scary. I hope everyone who got infected recovers quickly... but seriously, Sam's Club needs to get their act together and take responsibility for selling these tainted products 💔.
 
Ugh, this is so frustrating! 🤯 I just saw that there's been an outbreak of salmonella from those Member's Mark Super Greens Powder Supplements sold at Sam's Club... and it's got me all worried about people eating these contaminated powders thinking they're getting a healthy boost. I mean, come on! 😒 The fact that three people were hospitalized is just terrifying. Those states affected need to take action ASAP - Florida, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, and Virginia... how many more people are going to get sick?! 🤕
 
Ugh 🤢 I'm so worried about these 11 people who got sick from eating those moringa supplements! The stats are crazy... 7 states affected, over 100 reported cases, and it's like a ticking time bomb waiting to happen! 🚨 According to the CDC, most people recover in under a week, but for kids, seniors, and immunocompromised folks, it can be life-altering. 🤕

Let me show you the timeline of this outbreak: May-June (outbreak starts), July-August (cases rise), September (CDC alerts), and now... It's like a domino effect! 😱 Did you know that moringa leaf powder is one of the most contaminated products in the world? 🌿 According to the FDA, they found Salmonella Typhimurium in the affected lot.

We need more transparency on supplement labeling and sourcing! 👀 It's not just about the product; it's about the chain of custody and how far the supply chain stretches. 💡
 
Ugh, remember when we used to buy stuff at Sam's Club? 🙄 Anyway, I'm really worried about this moringa powder thingy... 11 people got sick and 3 had to go to hospital! 🤕 That's crazy. And it's all because of some contaminated powder from India. I mean, what were they thinking? 😳 It's just so careless.

And the fact that 7 states were affected is not good at all. I'm glad the CDC and FDA are on top of it, but it's still a big mess. I hope those who got sick get better soon 🤞. And what about those other people who took these supplements? Are they okay too? 😕 This whole thing just makes me wanna be super cautious when buying stuff online or in stores. It's just not worth the risk, you know? 💔
 
omg this is so frustrating 🤯 i cant believe ppl got sick from something thats supposed to help them! moringa leaf powder was meant to be good for us not kill us 😱 sam's club gotta do better on quality control tbh. its crazy how fast the CDC and FDA were able to track down the source of the problem too. glad they took action ASAP 🙏 the recall alert is a must do for all those affected, hope they get refunds and full recovery soon 💪
 
🚨 OMG have you guys been eating that Member's Mark Super Greens Powder Supplements? I know some of us are obsessed with our morning greens and I was one of them 🌱💚 but now I'm thinking twice. Like, what if the powder is contaminated?! It's not just about getting sick for a week, it's about long term damage. And what's up with the FDA taking so long to investigate? 🤔 They need to step up their game ASAP. And poor people in Florida and Kansas who got sick... I hope they're okay 💕. The thing is, we all think we know what we're getting when we buy supplements online but what if it's not just the product that's the problem? Maybe there's a bigger issue with how these products are regulated... 🤯
 
OMG 🤯 this is so not cool! Those people must've been feeling super sick 😷 and now they're dealing with the hassle of trying to get refunds from Sam's Club. I mean, who even buys powder supplements online? It just seems like a risk, you know? And moringa leaf powder from India? Like, isn't that a thing that's supposed to be super healthy or whatever? 🤔 Still, all this is kinda the supplier's fault for not testing their stuff properly. Anyway, hope those who got sick are feeling better soon 💕 and the others just learn from this whole experience 🤓
 
😬 this is so scary! i feel bad for those people who got sick from eating these supplements 🤕 at least it's not too serious for most of them though, just severe diarrhea and vomiting 🚽🤢 hopefully everyone will be okay soon 💯 the thing that freaks me out is how they found out about it - moringa leaf powder from india was contaminated 🌿🇮🇳 it's so important to make sure we're buying safe products from trustworthy sources 💸👍
 
I'm shocked by this outbreak 🤯! Back in my day, we didn't even hear about these kinds of recalls happening that often. I mean, sure, there were some salmonella outbreaks years ago, but nothing on this scale. It's crazy how these powders can be contaminated and end up in stores across the country 🚮.

And what really gets me is that these supplements are supposed to be organic and healthy 🥗. You'd think you'd be able to trust them with your life. I remember my mom taking these kinds of supplements back when I was a kid, and she thought they were doing her a world of good 💪.

The fact that it's come down to some powder from India is just wild 🌍. I mean, I've heard of food imports being problematic before, but this is on a whole different level. I'm just glad the FDA and CDC are on top of it and warning people about it. Safety first, you know? 😊
 
This is crazy 🤯! I mean, who gets sick from powder supplements? And it's not just a few cases either, 11 people are affected and some of them were hospitalized 😷. It's like, you'd think that with all the quality control and testing that goes into these kinds of products, this wouldn't happen.

And what's even more annoying is that they had to figure out the source from the home tests 🚽. I get it, sometimes tracing back can be tough, but shouldn't we have better systems in place for this kind of thing? It just seems like a waste of time and resources to me.

I do hope the Consumer Product Safety Commission does its job and gets those supplements off the shelves ASAP 💪. This is just bad timing for anyone who's been using them, especially if they're young or have a weakened immune system 🤒.
 
OMG, this is so concerning 🤢! I mean, who would think that powder supplements could be contaminated with salmonella? It's like, what even is wrong with these things?! 🙄 And to make matters worse, it's not just a few people - 11+ are affected? That's crazy 😲. And those three who got hospitalized... poor guys!

I'm so glad the FDA and CDC are on top of this, investigating and warning everyone about the recall. It's like, basic consumer safety, you know? 💯 And what's even more disturbing is that it was just a single lot of moringa leaf powder from India that caused all this. What were they thinking?! 🤦‍♀️

Anyway, I'm definitely going to be sticking to my usual foods and avoiding those supplements for now. Stay safe out there, guys! 💪
 
🤒 omg I was literally thinking about buying those supplements last week 🤦‍♀️ just found out they're contaminated with salmonella 💉 so glad the CDC warned us ASAP 🙏 it's crazy how some companies can be so reckless with their product sourcing 🤯 like, import from India and then sell it to unsuspecting Americans without any quality control 🚫 at least 11 people got sick and hospitalization is a big deal for those three 🚑 hope the recall happens ASAP so no one else gets hurt 💪
 
🤕 This is super concerning! I mean, who expects to get sick from buying supplements online? The FDA investigation made sense, and it's crazy that those 7 states got hit so hard. It's good they're recalling the stuff and telling people to return it for a refund.

I'm worried about the young ones and elderly folks who might be more susceptible to this salmonella poisoning. My grandma would've been super sick if she'd tried some of these supplements! But, at least most people recover within a week, right? Still, it's better safe than sorry – gotta make sure those affected get proper medical attention.

It's not like they were reckless or anything... just buying stuff online without thinking twice. Anyway, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is on top of it, which is good. Can't let this kind of thing spread and cause more problems 🤞
 
🚨 This salmonella outbreak is a perfect storm of corporate neglect and regulatory failure 🤦‍♂️. I mean, come on, Sam's Club knows their Member's Mark Super Greens Powder Supplements are made with imported moringa leaf powder from India, but they didn't take the necessary steps to verify its quality and safety before selling it to American consumers. That's like leaving a ticking time bomb in your stores 🚫.

And what about the FDA? They should be doing more to keep an eye on foreign suppliers and ensure that products meet basic safety standards. It's not just about labeling and certification; it's about actual quality control and testing 🔬.

This recall is a good start, but we need to ask ourselves: how many people got sick because of this contaminated product? And what's being done to prevent something like this from happening again in the future? We need more transparency and accountability from our government agencies and corporate leaders 🤝.
