A salmonella outbreak linked to superfood supplements has been declared “over” after sending more people to the hospital, according to the latest information released by federal health officials.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have completed an investigation into a multistate salmonella outbreak linked to Live It Up brand dietary supplements that were sold nationally on Amazon and the brand’s website.
A March 17 FDA notification reported that 97 people in 32 states had contracted salmonella poisoning and 26 were hospitalized. This is an increase from the 65 cases reported in 28 states in the previous notification on January 29. No deaths were reported.
The recall began on January 15, with Live It Up voluntarily recalling its products “out of an abundance of caution.” Why Not Natural, another supplement brand, later added one of its products to the list in a recall on January 28th.
Although the product has been removed from shelves, federal health officials are still encouraging consumers to check their homes for the recalled product because the supplement has a long shelf life.
Exposure to Salmonella is especially dangerous for vulnerable groups, such as children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. Here’s what you need to know about the outbreak.

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning usually begin 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria. According to the CDC, the most common symptoms are diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain.
Most healthy people recover in four to seven days without treatment, but some vulnerable people, such as children under 5, adults over 65, and people with weakened immune systems, can develop more severe illness that requires treatment and hospitalization.
If you experience any of these more serious symptoms, the CDC recommends contacting your health care professional.
- Diarrhea and fever greater than 102 degrees Fahrenheit
- Diarrhea does not improve even if it continues for more than 3 days
- bloody diarrhea
- Vomiting that is uncontrollable
- Signs of dehydration such as not producing much urine, dry mouth or throat, and feeling dizzy when standing up
