CDC investigates multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powder

Investigation centers on a recalled supplement powder

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powder, according to a CDC outbreak timeline updated January 14, 2026. The agency advised consumers who have the recalled product to throw it away or return it to the store.

The CDC’s outbreak pages emphasize that the reported number of cases often undercounts true illnesses because many people recover without medical care and are never tested. The agency also notes that there is a reporting lag: it can take weeks to determine whether a sick person is part of an identified outbreak, meaning recent infections may not appear immediately in official totals.

What the CDC data shows—and what it may miss

On the CDC’s timeline page, the agency summarized the investigation and presented an illness-onset chart for reported cases, showing when people became sick. A companion CDC page provides a map indicating where reported illnesses were identified, reflecting the multistate nature of the investigation.

Outbreak investigations can evolve quickly as lab testing connects additional cases and as food histories are analyzed to identify the most likely source. The CDC’s guidance in this case focuses on consumer action—discarding or returning the recalled supplement—while the investigation continues.

Consumer steps and broader context

Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, and infections can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. While many people recover on their own, certain groups—including young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems—can face higher risks of severe illness.

For consumers, the most immediate step is to check whether they have the recalled product and follow CDC guidance. People who believe they may have become ill should contact a healthcare provider, especially if symptoms are severe or persistent. Public health officials continue to monitor reports and refine the outbreak picture as more data arrives.
