Live It Up Super Greens dietary supplement in original and berry flavor has been recalled.
The Food and Drug Administration said additional products may be identified as the agency continues its investigation.
Reports of illnesses began on Aug. 22, with more salmonella cases reported through Dec. 30, 2025, according to the FDA. Sixteen people confirmed they’d consumed the Super Greens powder before becoming ill. No deaths have been reported, but 12 people have been hospitalized.
Salmonella cases have been reported and identified in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin, which has the highest number of cases reported.
The CDC urged customers who have the recalled Super Green powders to not consume them and throw it away. The agency also recommends washing items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled product using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
Symptoms of salmonella infection includes diarrhea, fever, vomiting, headache, stomach cramps and nausea, and usually start within six hours to six days after eating contaminated food. The illness typically lasts four to seven days and most people recover without treatment.
The CDC warns that children under 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems may have more severe illnesses that require treatment. If you have severe salmonella symptoms, call your healthcare provider.
There are an estimated 1.35 million salmonella infections each year in the U.S., and the bacteria are a leading cause of foodborne illnesses.
