CDC investigates multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powder
The CDC and FDA are investigating a multistate Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak tied to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders. As of Jan. 14, 2026, 45 illnesses across 21 states were reported, including 12 hospitalizations, and the company initiated a voluntary recall.
U.S. public health officials are investigating a multistate Salmonella outbreak that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says is linked to Live it Up Super Greens supplement powder. The CDC reports that it is working with state partners and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to gather evidence, trace the source, and limit further illnesses.
According to the CDC’s investigation update dated January 14, 2026, 45 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Typhimurium have been reported from 21 states. Illness onset dates ranged from August 22, 2025, to December 30, 2025. Among the cases with available clinical information, 12 people were hospitalized, and no deaths were reported at the time of the update.
Investigators say exposure information points to the supplement powder as the likely vehicle. In interviews referenced by the CDC, most of the people who provided food history said they had consumed Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders in the week before they became ill, strengthening the case that the product may be contaminated.
Laboratory work also supports a common source. The CDC notes that whole genome sequencing showed bacteria from patients’ samples were closely related genetically, a pattern consistent with people getting sick from the same contaminated product. The CDC also reported no predicted antibiotic resistance in the sequenced samples included in its analysis.
As part of the response, the CDC said the company informed the FDA on January 14, 2026 that it would initiate a voluntary recall. The agency advised consumers to avoid eating, selling, or serving recalled products and to throw them out or return them to the store if they are in the home.
The CDC emphasized that reported case counts can underestimate the true size of an outbreak because some people recover without seeking medical care or testing. Officials also noted that recent illnesses may not yet be included in the official totals due to reporting lag, meaning the situation could evolve as more data arrives.
