FDA and CDC investigate Salmonella outbreak tied to ‘Live it Up’ Super Greens supplement powder

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to ‘Live it Up’ Super Greens dietary supplement powder, and consumers are being urged to stop using the product immediately. In a January 2026 outbreak update, the FDA said the investigation remains ongoing and warned that additional products could be identified as the inquiry continues.

According to the FDA, the product at the center of the investigation is Live it Up-brand Super Greens powder in original and wild berry varieties with expiration dates ranging from 08/2026 through 01/2028. The agency said the supplement is primarily sold online through the company’s website and other e-commerce channels, including major third-party platforms.

As of the FDA’s January 14, 2026 update, 45 people infected with the outbreak strain had been reported from 21 states. The FDA said illnesses began on dates ranging from August 22, 2025, to December 30, 2025, and that 12 people were hospitalized. No deaths had been reported at the time of the update.

The CDC noted that recently reported cases often lag by several weeks because it can take time to determine whether a sick person is part of a specific outbreak. The agency also warned the true number of people affected is likely higher than the reported count, since some people recover without seeking medical care or being tested for Salmonella.

Investigators are using multiple lines of evidence, including epidemiological information collected by the CDC, to link illnesses to the product. The FDA said that among ill people with available information, most reported consuming the supplement before getting sick—supporting the advisory that consumers and retailers should not eat, sell or serve the recalled product.

The FDA recommends that anyone who purchased the identified product should throw it away or return it and carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers the powder may have touched. Officials emphasized that preventing cross-contamination is important, particularly in kitchens and food-preparation areas where bacteria can spread to other items.

Salmonella infection can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, and the FDA notes symptoms typically develop within 12 to 72 hours after exposure and may last several days. Young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems face a higher risk of severe illness. Anyone who believes they may have become ill after consuming the supplement is advised to contact a healthcare provider.
