What happened

Relay Peak Research LLC recalled its Zen Principle Naturals Moringa Capsules — 180-count bottles and 360-count twin packs, lot A6FF4 — over possible Salmonella contamination. They sold nationwide online via Amazon, zenprinciple.com, eBay and Etsy from December 2025 to July 2026.

No illnesses reported to date. The recall runs through every marketplace the supplement sold on.

A plant capsule bought for health, recalled for the pathogen it carried.

  • Possible Salmonella in moringa capsules, lot A6FF4 — sold on Amazon, eBay, Etsy Dec 2025–Jul 2026; voluntary recall
  • The supplement's promise is purity in a capsule — the pathogen rode in with the leaf
  • Four marketplaces carry the recall — the long tail of online sales is the long tail of the recall

The lesson

A supplement is a leaf with a label. When the raw plant carries Salmonella, every marketplace that sold the promise sells the recall — Amazon to Etsy, one lot.
