CDC and FDA investigate multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to Live It Up Super Greens supplement powders

U.S. health officials are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to Live It Up Super Greens dietary supplement powders. A CDC food safety alert said 45 people across 21 states were reported sick with the outbreak strain, 12 were hospitalized, and no deaths were reported.

The CDC and FDA advised consumers not to eat the recalled powders and to throw them away or return them. The guidance also recommends washing items and surfaces that may have contacted the product to reduce the risk of ongoing exposure through cross-contamination.

The FDA’s outbreak investigation page identified the product as Live it Up-brand Super Greens dietary supplement powder (including Original and Wild Berry flavors) and noted the product was primarily sold online, including through the company website and major marketplaces. The FDA also reported the investigation is ongoing and said the firm agreed to a voluntary recall in mid-January 2026.

Salmonella infections can cause diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps; symptoms commonly begin within hours to days after exposure and typically last several days. The CDC emphasized that severe illness is more likely in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, and advised contacting a healthcare provider for severe symptoms.

Because reported cases often lag real-world illness—testing and public health matching can take weeks—officials cautioned that the true number of sick people is likely higher than the confirmed tally. Consumers who have the product are urged to take the recall seriously even if they have not yet become ill.

What consumers should do now

• Do not consume recalled Live It Up Super Greens powders; dispose of them or return them for a refund.
• Clean and sanitize containers, countertops, blenders, scoops, and any surfaces the powder may have touched.
• Seek medical advice promptly if you develop severe Salmonella symptoms (high fever, prolonged diarrhea, dehydration).

The outbreak response remains active, and officials said updates may follow as investigators work to determine how the contamination occurred and whether any additional products are involved.
