Recall Alert: 'Super Greens' Supplement Tied to Salmonella Outbreak

A dietary supplement, marketed as 'super greens,' has been recalled following its connection to 45 salmonella cases within 21 U.S. states, based on information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The recall was announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The supplement, produced by the New York-based company Live it Up, was distributed from August 22 to December 30, 2025. Cases have emerged in states including Alabama, Connecticut, and Delaware, among others. The outbreak has hit a wide age range, from 16 to 81 years old.

Among the affected individuals, 12 required hospitalization. Interviews with local health agencies revealed that 16 patients had consumed the suspect supplement before falling ill.

Authorities have advised consumers to avoid consuming, selling, or serving the Live it Up Super Greens, specifically those in their original and wild berry varieties, with expiration dates ranging from August 2026 to January 2028. It is recommended that these products be disposed of or returned.

Following the recall notice, Live it Up has agreed to voluntarily withdraw the product. Despite this, the products continue to be listed on the company's website as of late Wednesday.

Investigations continue as officials attempt to pinpoint how the salmonella contamination occurred. Typically, individuals infected with salmonella endure symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Most recover within a week; however, those with compromised immune systems, children, and elderly individuals face heightened risks.
