An outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections has been traced to Live it Up brand Super Greens dietary supplement powder, which is sold online through outlets including Walmart.
The supplement is produced by Superfoods Inc. doing business as Live it Up of New York, NY, according to the Food and Drug Administration. In addition to online sales by Walmart, the product has been sold on Amazon and eBay.
There are 45 confirmed outbreak patients from 21 states. Their illnesses started on dates ranging from Aug. 22, 2025, through Dec. 30, 2025. Twelve of the patients have required hospitalization.
There are likely many more sick people in the outbreak because some people do not seek medical treatment and others are not specifically tested for Salmonella infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that for every confirmed patient in a Salmonella outbreak there are 29 who go undetected.
Based on epidemiological information and traceback efforts, the FDA and CDC have determined that Live it Up Super Greens powdered supplements are responsible for the outbreak.
The company has initiated a recall of all of its flavors of the product with expiration dates of August 2026 to January of 2028. There is concern that consumers may still have the product in their homes because of its long shelf life.
The FDA is conducting a traceback investigation to determine the source of the contamination and is working with state public health officials to sample products of concern. Additional products may be recalled.
About Salmonella infections
Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell, or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection. Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile, according to the CDC.
Anyone who has consumed any of the recalled Live it Up Super Greens dietary supplement and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days. In some cases, however, diarrhea may be so severe that patients require hospitalization.
Older adults, children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions.
Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms. However, they may still spread the infections to others.
