Summary

Company Announcement

Total Nutrition Inc. of Deer Park, NY is voluntarily 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. 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/External Link Disclaimer, and https://www.doctorspride.com/External Link Disclaimer.

The product is packaged in white HDPE supplement bottles with smooth, white caps and 120 clear capsules filled with green moringa powder. The affected lots are:

The recall was initiated following notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that these products may be implicated in an ongoing investigation associated with moringa-containing dietary supplement products. Total Nutrition Inc. 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 traceability review which identified a common raw material from Lot 2507199, one of the original recalled lots.

Total Nutrition Inc. is including Lot 2748 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.

Customers who have purchased the affected products are asked to dispose of them immediately. Do not eat, sell, or serve the product. Customers may request a refund by completing the form located at https://tnvitamins.com/recallExternal Link Disclaimer.

We apologize for the inconvenience and concern this recall may cause to our customers. TNVitamins is committed to ensuring the quality of our products and the well-being of our consumers.
