A recent food safety alert from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to Live It Up Super Greens supplement powders. According to the CDC, 45 people in 21 states have been infected with the same strain of Salmonella. Twelve individuals have required hospitalization, but no deaths have been reported.
The CDC stated, “People in this outbreak have reported eating Live It Up Super Greens supplement powder.” The company notified the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 14, 2026, that it would begin a voluntary recall of the affected products. Consumers who possess these recalled supplements are advised to discard them or contact the company regarding returns.
The CDC recommends that consumers do not eat any recalled Live It Up Super Greens supplement powders and should throw them away or return them to their place of purchase. Additionally, items and surfaces that may have come into contact with the product should be washed using hot soapy water or a dishwasher. Individuals experiencing severe symptoms associated with Salmonella are urged to consult their healthcare provider.
Businesses are instructed not to sell or serve any recalled Live It Up Super Greens supplement powders and to wash and sanitize any items or surfaces that could have been contaminated.
Salmonella infection typically causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps within six hours to six days after exposure. Most cases resolve without treatment in four to seven days; however, some cases can be severe enough to require hospitalization. Young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems face higher risks of serious illness.
