Salmonella Contamination and Outbreak

Federal health regulators have confirmed Salmonella contamination in Live it Up Super Greens products. The FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that a multistate outbreak may be linked to this dietary supplement.

Salmonella Health Risks

Salmonella represents an organism capable of causing serious and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable populations. Young children, frail or elderly individuals, and people with weakened immune systems face heightened risks from Salmonella contamination.

Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, Salmonella infection progresses to bloodstream involvement, producing more severe illnesses requiring hospitalization.

Symptom Onset and Duration

Salmonella infection symptoms typically develop between 6 hours and 6 days after consuming contaminated food or supplements. Most infections resolve within approximately one week, though bowel habit normalization may require several months.

Severe symptoms warranting immediate medical attention include high fever, prolonged diarrhea, bloody stools, or signs of dehydration. Young children, elderly adults, and immunocompromised individuals should seek medical evaluation promptly if symptoms develop.

What Consumers Should Do

Customers who purchased the affected Live it Up Super Greens products must dispose of them immediately. Consumers should not eat, sell, or serve these recalled dietary supplements under any circumstances.

Recalled products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase. The FDA recommends carefully cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces or containers that contacted the recalled supplement powder using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.

For refunds, consumers may contact Superfoods Inc. via email at recall@artofenso.com. Refund requests should include the customer’s name, order number, and a photograph of the recalled product showing visible lot codes.

Production Suspension

Superfoods Inc. has suspended production of Live it Up Super Greens while the FDA and company continue investigating the contamination source. No other Live it Up products are involved in this recall at the current time.

FDA Investigation Status

The FDA continues conducting a traceback investigation examining products that ill consumers reported consuming before becoming sick. Federal regulators are working with state partners to sample products of concern.

The FDA has indicated that additional products may also be contaminated. The agency will update its advisory as more information becomes available through the ongoing investigation.

Contamination in Dietary Supplements

Salmonella contamination in dietary supplement powders represents a serious public health concern. Powdered products can harbor bacteria that survive in low-moisture environments for extended periods.

Consumers often add supplement powders to liquids without cooking or other bacterial elimination steps. This consumption method provides no opportunity to destroy Salmonella bacteria before ingestion.
