Cases have been reported across the U.S., including Connecticut
Federal health officials are investigating a multistate Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak linked to a popular greens powder sold online — and Connecticut is among the states reporting cases.
What Product is Involved?
The FDA says the outbreak is linked to Live it Up-brand Super Greens dietary supplement powder (including Original and Wild Berry flavors). The company has issued a recall covering products (including stick packs) with expiration dates from 08/2026 to 01/2028, and the FDA notes the recalled items include lots beginning with the letter “A.”
These products were primarily sold online, including through the Live it Up website and major online marketplaces.
How Big is the Outbreak?
As of the FDA/CDC update on January 15, 2026, officials report 45 illnesses across 21 states, including 12 hospitalizations and no deaths. Connecticut is listed among the affected states.
Symptoms to Watch for
Salmonella infection often causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach/abdominal cramps. Symptoms typically begin within a few days after exposure and usually last about a week. Some people—especially children under 5, adults 65+, and people with weakened immune systems—are more likely to have severe illness.
CDC recommends contacting a healthcare provider right away if you have severe symptoms such as:
-
Diarrhea with a fever higher than 102°F
-
Diarrhea lasting more than 3 days or bloody diarrhea
-
Vomiting that prevents keeping liquids down
-
Signs of dehydration (low urination, dry mouth, dizziness)
What Consumers Should Do Now
If you have this product at home:
-
Do not consume it. Throw it away or return it for a refund (per the company’s instructions).
-
Clean and sanitize any containers, counters, scoops, or surfaces the powder may have touched.
-
If you develop symptoms, contact your healthcare provider and let them know if you recently used the recalled greens powder.
