What caused the issue?
The recall began after a retail sample of Food To Live Organic Supergreens Mix tested positive for Salmonella. The company stated that the source of the problem had not been determined when it announced the recall.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older or frail people, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy people who become infected may experience fever, diarrhea that can sometimes be bloody, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
In rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and cause more serious conditions, including infected aneurysms, endocarditis, and arthritis.
Food safety insight
“When I see a recall involving possible Salmonella contamination, I immediately think about how important preventive controls are at every stage of production,” said Allyza Joyce Mercado, FSQA Manager at Source86.
“For powdered ingredients, teams need strong sanitation practices, supplier verification, testing programs, and lot-level traceability working together. If testing identifies a potential problem, accurate records also help teams quickly trace affected lots, stop distribution, and limit the risk of further exposure.”
Here’s what you should do
Consumers and businesses with Food To Live green powder products should:
- Do not eat or use a product if its product name and lot code match the recall.
- Look for the lot code and best-before date on the back of the package.
- Check below the Nutrition Facts panel and next to the barcode for identifying information.
- Dispose of affected products or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
- Businesses that purchased bulk cases should also review their inventory for affected lot codes.
- Contact a healthcare provider if you consumed an affected product and develop symptoms consistent with Salmonella infection.

Behind the brand
Brooklyn-based Lexunder Inc. operates Food To Live and sells nuts, seeds, dried fruits, powders, grains, legumes, and other food products. The company serves individual consumers and businesses, including customers who purchase products in bulk.
Following the recall, Food To Live suspended production and distribution of the affected green powders and began working with the FDA to identify the contamination source. The FDA confirmed that the recall does not affect any other products or lot codes.
Regulatory context
Salmonella contamination remains an important concern for food manufacturers because contaminated products may not necessarily look, smell, or taste unsafe. This makes preventive controls, supplier verification, environmental monitoring, testing, and lot-level traceability important safeguards throughout the supply chain.
The Food To Live recall also demonstrates the importance of traceability when products move through both consumer and business channels. Accurate lot records can help companies identify affected inventory and limit further distribution when a food safety concern emerges.
Ensuring safe eats
Ultimately, the Food To Live recall highlights how testing and traceability can help companies detect potential contamination and protect consumers. For this reason, manufacturers should strengthen supplier controls, sanitation programs, testing protocols, and batch tracking to identify food safety risks and respond quickly when problems arise.
Meanwhile, consumers and businesses should check Food To Live green powder products against the affected lot information and avoid using recalled products. Beyond consumer action, strong food safety practices throughout the supply chain remain essential for preventing and managing contamination risks.
Green powders combine several dried plants, each from a different supplier, so Source86 asks for pathogen results by component rather than accepting a single certificate for the blend. Buying superfood or green powders in bulk? Request our powder testing protocol.
