A supplement powder becomes the focus of a food-safety alert

The CDC and FDA are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to Live it Up Super Greens dietary supplement powder.

According to federal updates, the outbreak involves 45 reported illnesses across 21 states, with 12 hospitalizations and no deaths reported in the published case summaries. Investigators say reports from ill people indicate consumption of the supplement powder prior to illness, and they continue to examine distribution and potential contamination sources.

Recall details and what consumers should do

Health agencies report that a recall covers Live it Up Super Greens supplement powders with expiration dates from August 2026 through January 2028, including Original and Wild Berry varieties. Guidance emphasizes that consumers should not eat the recalled products and should clean and sanitize items and surfaces that may have been contaminated, to reduce cross-contamination risk.

The FDA’s outbreak investigation page describes the inquiry as ongoing, noting that additional products may be implicated as the traceback and sampling work continues. This is a key point for consumers: even if they no longer have symptoms or used the powder weeks ago, unopened product in a pantry or cabinet can still pose a risk if it is within the recall scope.

Recognizing severe symptoms

Public health messaging stresses that many people recover from Salmonella without treatment, but severe illness can occur and some groups face higher risk. The CDC advises people to seek medical attention for severe symptoms such as high fever, prolonged diarrhea, or signs of dehydration, and to inform healthcare providers about possible exposure to recalled products. ([cdc.gov](https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/outbreaks/supergreenssupplementpowders-1-26/index.html?utm_source=openai))

As the investigation continues, consumers are encouraged to check product labels and expiration dates carefully, follow recall instructions, and monitor updates from federal agencies for revised counts or additional product information.
