Picture from FDA
The most recent Salmonella outbreak investigation has been linked to a dietary supplement called Live it Up Super Greens. This product, primarily sold online, has been linked to an ongoing U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) multi-state outbreak investigation. One product has been indicated, but additional products may be added to the list as the investigation continues.
Here’s what we know about the Live it Up Super Greens outbreak and subsequent recall so far!
On January 14, 2026, the FDA announced they found the source of an ongoing Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak. The outbreak was linked to a dietary supplement was linked to a product under the name Superfoods Live it Up Super Greens.
So far, there have been at least 45 people associated with the outbreak. Of which, 12 required hospitalization. No deaths have been reported.
Nearly all of the patients interviewed indicated they consumed Live it Up Super Greens dietary supplement powder prior to becoming sick.
Sick patients came from 21 different states. Including Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The latest data shows the last person reporting illness on December 30, 2025. However, there is often a lag between a sick person experiencing symptoms and the results of their laboratory tests connecting them to an ongoing outbreak.
Additional illnesses may be reported.
Hopefully, with the announced recall, no new people will become sick.
The traceback investigation is ongoing, as the FDA works with state partners to sample products sick patients reported consuming prior to falling ill. Additional products may be added to the associated recall as more information becomes available.

Salmonella are microscopic bacteria that can cause illness in humans and animals. We are most likely to become sick from consuming food or water contaminated with the bacteria.
Only a fraction of Salmonella infections are diagnosed. So the true number of illnesses in this Salmonella outbreak linked to Live it Up Super Greens may be much higher.
The CDC estimates only 1 in every 30 infections are actually reported.
This is because most cases of Salmonella illness are mild, and the sick individual often chooses to manage symptoms on their own without seeing a doctor or having their sample submitted for laboratory testing. Without a diagnostic test, we never learn which germ caused their illness. Their illness is never connected to an outbreak.
Only specialized laboratory tests can determine if your illness is caused by Salmonella bacteria. Additional genetic testing can link your sample with other patients sick with the same strain of bacteria.
If you have symptoms of Salmonella infection, seek medical attention or report your illness to your local health department right away!
Symptoms of Salmonella infection usually involve nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, and fever.
People usually begin feeling sick anywhere from 6 hours to 6 days after exposure. Most of the time people feel better within a week.
Most normally healthy people recover on their own without medical assistance. Severity, however, can vary from person to person.
Most of the time Salmonella bacteria are limited to the intestinal tract. However, in some cases, the bacteria can breach the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream capillaries and veins found there. When this happens, bacteria may infect the urinary tract, blood, bones, joints, and even the nervous system.
Common Salmonella complications include reactive arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and bacteremia that can affect other parts of the body.
Reactive arthritis, a condition affecting the collagen in the joints, eyes, and urethra, is a common complication. This type of infection causes joint pain, irritation of the eyes, and pain during urination. Reactive arthritis symptoms may last for months or even years in some people.
Irritable bowel syndrome is another common complication of Salmonella illness. In some cases, it can take quite some time before bowel habits return to normal.
Bacteremia associated with Salmonella infections can affect many different tissues in the body. Resulting in a variety of infections.
Potential bacteremia infections include:
Those with mild Salmonella infections treat illness by managing dehydration. Drink plenty of fluids and monitor symptoms. Seek medical attention if you experience diarrhea lasting more than two days or experience a fever higher than 102 °F, or are in a higher risk group.
Those in higher risk groups include:
