US Food and Drug Administration Recalls "Super Greens" Supplement Linked to Outbreak of Salmonella Cases
A dietary supplement marketed as a "super green" powder has been linked to at least 45 reported salmonella cases in 21 US states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The recall affects the Live it Up Super Greens brand, which was sold in original and wild berry flavors.
Illnesses associated with the supplement were reported between August 22, 2025, and December 30, 2025, with hospitalizations confirmed in at least a dozen cases. Of those interviewed by state and local health officials, 16 consumers stated they consumed the recalled product before falling ill.
The age range of individuals affected by salmonella poisoning was from 16 to 81 years old, according to the CDC. The agency has warned against consuming the supplement or allowing it to be sold in any form. Consumers are also advised to wash items and surfaces that may have come into contact with the contaminated product using hot soapy water.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated a voluntary recall of the Live it Up Super Greens supplements, which were set to expire between August 2026 and January 2028. However, it appears that the products are still available for purchase on the company's website as of Wednesday night.
An investigation into the source of salmonella contamination is ongoing. Symptoms associated with salmonella infection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, abdominal cramping, and fever. Most people recover within a week; however, infections can be severe in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
This recall follows another salmonella outbreak last October stemming from a different super greens product sold at Sam's Club.

this is crazy! who would've thought that something as seemingly harmless as a supplement could cause so much harm? the fact that it's still available for purchase online is wild 
, like are people really that clueless about what they're buying? and what's up with the FDA not catching on sooner? wasn't this recall supposed to happen months ago?! anyway, I'm all for people holding companies accountable for their actions, but seriously, can we talk about how our food and supplement systems need a major overhaul 
like, what even is the point of taking a supplement if it's just gonna give you food poisoning?! the FDA needs to step up and get these products off the shelves ASAP 
And why are they still selling this stuff online?! 
Meanwhile, people are getting sick and hospitals are filling up... 
I mean, who doesn't love the idea of "super greens" right? 
It's like we're all just one bacteria away from becoming a health expert 
. Anyway, it's not like they're just selling a fancy powder or anything... apparently 45 people got sick and some were hospitalized 
. I guess you could say the company really "live-ed" up to their name 
. I'm sure the whole "don't eat contaminated products" thing will be super intuitive for those who haven't been following the news 
.
and make sure everything is safe to eat. the fact that it's still available on the company's website is crazy 
... shouldn't they be following the recall order or something? anyway, at least the CDC is being proactive about warning consumers and investigating the source of the contamination 
. hope everyone who got sick recovers soon 
and hopefully this won't happen to anyone else 
. They need to shut down ASAP & face the music for puttin innocent ppl in harm's way 
. Salmonella's no joke, especially for seniors & kiddos 
. Hope they're investigatin' who made this toxic mess & holdin them accountable 
This is just crazy... Like, how do you even get Salmonella from a supplement? 
It's gotta be some kind of contamination or manufacturing issue, but I don't think the company would just sell expired products on their website if they knew there was an outbreak. 
Just when you thought supplements were safe, right? 
FDA should really crack down on these guys ASAP 
It's crazy that there was a salmonella outbreak linked to this supplement, but I'm glad they're being proactive about recalling it. And yeah, it's annoying that some people are still selling it online, but I guess that's just the wild west of the internet, right? 
The fact that there were over 45 reported cases is super concerning, but at least most people recover from salmonella infections in a week. Fingers crossed everything gets back to normal soon! 
I mean, I know we're always talking about the importance of taking care of ourselves with healthy food choices, but it just goes to show that even seemingly harmless products can be super dodgy 
It's just not worth it to risk your health over a fancy-sounding label or some trendy ingredient 
my mom was sick last year and she took some crazy pills that had like a million ingredients i don't think they were approved by anyone 
This is crazy! I mean, I've heard of recalls before but this one takes the cake 
. 45 reported cases of salmonella? That's like, what, 1 in every 1000 people or something? And they're linked to a supplement marketed as a "super green" powder 
but come on, can't people be more responsible? 
. It's not just about the individual, it's also about the vulnerable populations like young kids and elderly folks who might actually get seriously sick 
Are we just gonna keep seeing this kind of stuff happen over and over again unless someone takes action? 
who would've thought that something so small could cause so much harm? 
.
. And some of them had to go to the hospital too, poor guys 
.
how can one product cause so many cases?? and its still available on their website lol who does the FDA not care what happened with the other recall last october? anyway gotta make sure to wash everything with hot water from now on
