A dietary supplement brand has pulled a batch of herbal capsules from nationwide distribution following federal laboratory testing that detected Salmonella contamination in raw ingredients.
Recall Specifics
Nevada-based Relay Peak Research LLC (doing business as Zen Principle Naturals) issued a voluntary recall for a specific production lot of Zen Principle Moringa Capsules. The affected supplement was sold online via Amazon, ZenPrinciple.com, eBay, and Etsy.
Product details include:
- Packaging: Plastic bottles containing 180 capsules (single-packs and twin-packs).
- Lot Number: A6FF4
- Best By Date: 11/2028
- Amazon FNSKU Identifiers: X000ZJJ4FT (1-pack) or X00159YJXP (2-pack).
Background and Contamination Source
The recall was triggered when the ingredient supplier notified Zen Principle Naturals that routine FDA testing of raw organic moringa leaf powder had returned positive results for Salmonella. The tainted raw powder was incorporated into a single batch of finished dietary capsules.
This announcement coincides with wider federal scrutiny of imported superfood powders, where multiple moringa and green superfood brands have faced similar supply-chain recalls over Salmonella risks.
Health Warning & Instructions
No illnesses have been reported in connection with this specific product lot. However, Salmonella can cause serious or fatal infections in vulnerable populations such as elderly individuals, young children, and immunocompromised persons.
Consumers holding bottles matching Lot A6FF4 should immediately stop using the capsules and dispose of them. Customers can contact Zen Principle directly via phone or email for refund requests.
