FDA and CDC link multistate Salmonella outbreak to “Live it Up” Super Greens supplement powder; voluntary recall underway

A supplement, a multistate outbreak, and a recall

The FDA and CDC are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to Live it Up-brand Super Greens dietary supplement powder. The product—sold mainly online—has been associated with illnesses across 21 states, leading federal officials to advise consumers not to use specific lots and to clean and sanitize areas that may have been contaminated.

As of the agencies’ January 14, 2026 update, 45 illnesses had been reported, with 12 hospitalizations and no reported deaths. Illness onset dates ranged from August 22, 2025, through December 30, 2025, suggesting exposure occurred over an extended period before the investigation was publicly updated.

Which products are affected

The FDA said the advisory focuses on Live it Up-brand Super Greens supplement powder (including original and wild berry flavors) with expiration dates from 08/2026 to 01/2028. The agency noted that additional products could be identified as the investigation continues, and guidance may change as new evidence emerges.

What consumers should do

• Do not consume, sell, or serve the recalled Super Greens powder (original or wild berry) with expiration dates from 08/2026 to 01/2028.
• Throw the product away or return it to where it was purchased.
• Clean and sanitize any surfaces, containers, or scoops that may have touched the powder to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
• Seek medical advice if you develop symptoms consistent with Salmonella infection after consuming the product.

Symptoms and higher-risk groups

Salmonella infection typically causes diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, often beginning 12 to 72 hours after exposure and lasting several days. Young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to experience severe illness and may require medical care.

Public health investigators will continue interviewing patients, reviewing purchase histories, and testing product samples as they work to determine how contamination occurred. Because many sick people recover without being tested, officials caution that reported case counts can underestimate the true scale of an outbreak.
