An [FDA enforcement record](https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22H-1180-2026%22) lists a recall of bulk Organic Moringa Powder by , with the reason given as "." The recall carries the number and a report date of July 29, 2026. According to the record, the recall was initiated on July 8, 2026, and its status is listed as . is the FDA's most serious recall category, used where there is a reasonable probability that using the product will cause serious harm or death, [according to the agency's published definitions](https://www.fda.gov/safety/industry-guidance-recalls/recalls-background-and-definitions). The product is described in the record as Organic Moringa Powder, 15kg/bag (bulk), product code GJ96, with lot 25/08001 and an expiration date of 02-11-2028. The quantity listed is . The record states the product "was distributed to 4 different consignees who have used the ingredient for further processing and distribution." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration [says](https://www.fda.gov/food/foodborne-pathogens/salmonella-salmonellosis) salmonella is a bacterium that causes salmonellosis, that most people develop diarrhoea, fever and abdominal cramps between 12 and 72 hours after infection, that illness usually lasts four to seven days, and that in some cases it is severe enough to require hospitalisation, with young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems at greatest risk. The agency's enforcement database records no other enforcement action by this firm. For context only, the same database records 455 food recalls citing salmonella in the last two years, including a July 29, 2026 entry for TNVitamins 100% Organic Moringa Capsules 1,200 mg from Total Nutrition Inc and a July 15, 2026 entry for an organic moringa leaf product from Trafa Pharmaceutical Inc.; other firms' recalls are not evidence about this one. The FDA record does not identify the four consignees, the downstream products, or any associated illnesses.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
