CDC warns of Salmonella outbreak tied to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders; recall underway
Federal health officials are investigating a multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders. The CDC advises consumers to avoid the recalled products, clean surfaces that may have been contaminated, and contact a healthcare provider if severe symptoms develop.
Outbreak investigation and product recall
The CDC is investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders. The agency said the recalled products were sold nationwide and include certain lots of Live it Up Super Greens in both bags and sticks, including Original and Wild Berry flavors, with expiration dates spanning August 2026 through January 2028.
Public health officials urged people who have the recalled supplement powders to stop using them immediately. Consumers were advised to throw the products away or return them, and to wash items and surfaces that might have touched the powder to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in kitchens, pantries, or storage containers.
What Salmonella symptoms can look like
The CDC noted that most people infected with Salmonella experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, and many recover without treatment. However, certain groups—especially young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems—are more likely to develop severe illness that may require medical care or hospitalization.
Health officials advised contacting a healthcare provider right away if severe symptoms occur, including high fever, prolonged diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, vomiting that prevents keeping fluids down, or signs of dehydration. People who recently consumed the product and feel unwell were also encouraged to seek guidance rather than attempting to manage worsening symptoms alone.
Practical steps for households and businesses
Beyond discarding the recalled powders, the CDC recommended thoroughly washing and sanitizing potentially exposed items, including countertops, mixing tools, jars, and reusable containers. Businesses were advised not to sell or serve the recalled products and to sanitize areas that may have come into contact with them.
The outbreak investigation remains active, and officials noted that case counts can change as more illnesses are identified and linked through epidemiological and laboratory work.
