Summary: US health officials are warning people about a Salmonella outbreak linked to moringa leaf supplements. Moringa is a plant often called a "superfood" and used in healthy greens powders. So far, 119 people in 36 states have gotten sick. Salmonella causes bad stomach cramps and diarrhea that can last for months.

The CDC also reminds us to be careful with other risky foods, like raw cookie dough and cut melons. Melons grow on the ground, and their rough skin can trap bacteria. Always wash them well before cutting!
