Recalled ‘Super Greens’ diet supplement powder sickens 45 with salmonella

At least 45 people in nearly two dozen states have been sickened with salmonella food poisoning linked to a brand of “super greens” dietary supplement powder, federal health officials said Wednesday.

Superfoods Inc., which makes Live it Up brand Super Greens powder, has recalled products, including its Original and Wild Berry flavors, with expiration dates from August 2026 to January 2028. Consumers should not eat, sell or serve the products and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.

Illnesses linked to the supplement were reported from August 22 to December 30, 2025. At least 12 people were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The products were distributed throughout the country. Cases have been reported in 21 states: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

An FDA investigation continues and other products may be contaminated, the agency said.

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning usually begin within hours or days of consuming a contaminated food product. They include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. Most people recover without treatment within a week, but infections can be serious in children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems.
