A multistate Salmonella investigation centered on a supplement
U.S. public health agencies are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powder. Unlike many Salmonella events tied to produce or meat, this investigation focuses on a dietary supplement product sold primarily through online channels, which can complicate tracking and consumer notification.
According to a CDC investigation update dated January 14, 2026, 45 people infected with the outbreak strain were reported from 21 states, with illnesses starting between August 22, 2025, and December 30, 2025. The CDC said epidemiologic data indicate the Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium and may be making people sick.
FDA details: distribution, recall, and case counts
The FDA’s outbreak investigation page states the product includes Live it Up-brand Super Greens dietary supplement powder with expiration dates from 08/2026 to 01/2028, including original and wild berry flavors. The agency said the product is primarily sold online, including via the company’s website and other online sites such as Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.
The FDA reported 45 illnesses and 12 hospitalizations with no deaths, and said it recommended a recall. The agency said that on January 14, 2026, the firm agreed to initiate a voluntary recall, and advised consumers and retailers not to eat, sell, or serve the recalled product, instead disposing of it or returning it to the place of purchase.
Symptoms and who is at higher risk
The FDA notes that Salmonella illness commonly begins 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated items and can last several days, often involving diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe infections, and health officials advise anyone with symptoms to contact a healthcare provider.
Investigators are continuing traceback work and product sampling to determine the contamination source and to assess whether additional products may be implicated. Both the FDA and CDC have indicated their advisories may be updated as new information becomes available.
