Salmonella outbreaks linked to superfood supplements are on the rise, according to the latest information released by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The outbreak in multiple states has been traced by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to a Live it Up branded dietary supplement that was sold nationally on Amazon and the brand’s website. On January 15, Live It Up announced a recall of its products due to “excessive caution.” Why Not Natural, another supplement brand, later added one of its products to the list in a recall on January 28th.
Since the FDA update on January 15, 20 additional people have become ill in related outbreaks, bringing the total to 65 in 28 states. Of these, 14 were hospitalized. As of January 29, no deaths have been reported.
Exposure to Salmonella can be especially dangerous for some vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Here’s what you need to know about the ongoing outbreak.

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning
Symptoms of salmonella poisoning usually begin 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 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
