* Live it Up Super Greens supplement powder has been recalled nationwide.
* The product was linked to a Salmonella outbreak with 45 illnesses, including 12 hospitalizations, across 21 states.
* If you have the recalled Super Greens powder, toss or return it immediately, and monitor for signs of Salmonella.

A recall has been initiated for a Super Greens powder, sold nationwide under the Live it Up brand, after the product was linked to a Salmonella outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday. Since August, 45 people have been sickened in 21 states. Twelve patients were hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.

Identifying the Recalled Super Greens Powder

The recall affects Live it Up Super Greens dietary supplement powder, in the original and wild berry flavors, with expiration dates from August 2026 to January 2028. The item was primarily sold online via the Live it Up website and other online retailers, including Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.

The recalled powder was distributed across the U.S., but so far, there have only been Salmonella cases reported in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Faith Based Events

This outbreak follows another greens powder recall due to Salmonella. In November, Member’s Mark Super Greens supplement powder, sold at Sam’s Club nationwide, was linked to an outbreak in seven states that sickened 11 people, three of whom needed hospitalization. The FDA specifically identified organic moringa leaf powder from Vallon Farm Direct of India—which was in the Member’s Mark Super Greens mix—as the source of the illnesses.

What You Should Do

Look for the recalled supplement powder in your kitchen. If you have it, do not consume it. Immediately throw it out or return it, and carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers it touched.

The FDA is urging consumers to contact their doctor if they develop Salmonella symptoms—including diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps—after using the recalled Super Greens powder. Infections typically begin within 12 to 72 hours after eating a contaminated product, and usually clear up within a week.
