What happened?
The FDA said Superfoods Inc. initiated the recall after an investigation suggested a possible link between Live it Up Super Greens and a Salmonella outbreak. The recall was announced on January 15, 2026, in coordination with the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In its recall alert, the FDA warned that “Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.” The agency added that healthy individuals may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Regulators said Live it Up sold the products nationwide through its website beginning in January 2025 and on Amazon starting July 30, 2025. Health officials have reported 45 illnesses and 12 hospitalizations to date, with no deaths confirmed.

In its recall notice, the company stated that it has ceased distribution of the affected products and is working closely with the FDA to identify the source of the contamination.
Other relevant recalls
This recall follows a broader pattern of FDA enforcement actions involving powdered supplements and foodborne illness risks. Recent Source86 coverage includes Spring & Mulberry’s expanded recall of chocolate bars and Consumers Supply Distributing’s recall of Country Vet dog biscuits over possible Salmonella contamination, along with other recalls involving protein powders and nutritional supplements sold online, underscoring ongoing challenges in ingredient sourcing and quality control.
“Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States and can be spread by food handlers who do not wash their hands and/or the surfaces and tools they use between food preparation steps,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, said that while the Live it Up recall centers on a single product line:
“It also underscores a broader truth in the food industry: food safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about trust.”
