Salmonella outbreak linked to Super Greens supplement
At least 45 people in nearly two dozen states have been sickened with salmonella food poisoning tied to the Super Greens brand of diet supplement powder, reports BritPanorama.
Superfoods Inc., which makes the Live it Up-brand Super Greens powder, has recalled products including its original and wild berry flavors, with expiration dates stretching from August 2026 to January 2028. Consumers are advised not to consume, sell, or serve the affected products, and are recommended to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
Illnesses associated with the supplement were reported from August 22 to December 30, 2025, with at least 12 individuals requiring hospitalization. No fatalities have been reported, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The affected products were distributed nationwide, with cases 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 is ongoing, indicating that additional products may be contaminated, the agency stated.
Symptoms of salmonella poisoning generally manifest within hours or days following consumption of contaminated food, presenting as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Most individuals recover without treatment within a week; however, infections can pose serious risks for children under five, adults aged 65 and older, and those with weakened immune systems.
