FDA Recall: Zen Principle® Moringa Capsules Pulled for Possible Salmonella Contamination—What Families Should Do Now
Quick recall alert: Relay Peak Research LLC dba Zen Principle Naturals recalled Zen Principle® Moringa Leaf Powder Capsules because the moringa leaf powder ingredient in a single lot tested positive for possible Salmonella contamination. FDA also states no illnesses have been reported to date. If you have the affected capsules, stop using them now.
If you’re shopping for supplements (or you have older bottles in the pantry), this is one of those recall notes where “check first, then act” is the smartest move.
What to check at home
Grab your Zen Principle® Moringa Leaf Powder Capsules bottle and compare it with the product identifiers in the official FDA recall notice. FDA’s notice identifies:
- Brand/product: Zen Principle® Moringa Leaf Powder Capsules
- Company: Relay Peak Research LLC dba Zen Principle Naturals
- Affected scope: the recall is tied to a single lot
Important: Don’t rely on memory or “it looks the same.” The correct decision is to match the lot information listed in the FDA notice. If your bottle’s lot/best-by (as shown in the recall notice) matches the affected identifiers, your capsules are part of the recall.
What to do if your Zen Principle® capsules match
FDA advises consumers with the affected product to:
- Stop using the capsules immediately.
- Dispose of the product (FDA notes that no return is required).
- Get a full refund by following the instructions provided in the recall notice.
Keep the recall notice handy while you handle the refund steps—doing it right away helps avoid mixing up products later.
How to protect your pantry and reduce cross-contamination
Even when a recall involves a supplement, the easiest “family safety” approach at home is to prevent spreading anything from the recalled item to other foods or prep areas. Here are practical steps you can do in a few minutes:
- Handle carefully: Avoid shaking or tipping the bottle.
- Wash hands: After handling the recalled capsules—especially before touching snacks, lunchboxes, bottles, or kitchen counters—wash with soap and water.
- Wipe nearby surfaces: If you stored the bottle near food items, wipe the area where it sat with household disinfecting wipes or cleaner you already use.
- Keep it separate: As you dispose, keep the recalled bottle/items away from food storage bins, ingredient scoops, and meal-prep spaces.
- Return the space to “food-only” habits: After disposal, consider designating a separate spot for supplements that’s not in the middle of food-prep zones.
What about symptoms?
FDA states that no illnesses have been reported to date in relation to this recall. Still, if someone in your household has symptoms that could be consistent with a foodborne illness—especially after using a recalled product—consider contacting a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Where to verify
For the exact lot information and refund/disposal instructions, use the FDA recall notice for Relay Peak Research LLC dba Zen Principle Naturals. The FDA recalls listing page is also a good place to confirm the notice remains posted and current.
Bottom line: Confirm your bottle matches the affected identifiers in the FDA notice, then stop using and dispose for a full refund—plus a quick wipe-and-handwash step to protect the rest of your pantry area.
