Certain dietary/sports supplements were recalled after a salmonella outbreak sickened dozens across 21 states — the FDA is tracing sources and more products could be added as the investigation continues. (devicedaily.com)
CDC and federal partners reported the outbreak grew to 97 confirmed infections across 32 states with illnesses beginning Aug. 22, 2025 and continuing through Feb. 27, 2026; 26 of 90 people with available information were hospitalized and no deaths were reported. (cdc.gov) The FDA records show Superfoods, Inc., doing business as Live It Up, voluntarily recalled all Live It Up Super Greens powders (Original and Wild Berry) — including stick packs and lots beginning with the letter “A” — with expiration dates spanning August 2026 through January 2028. (fda.gov) An additional voluntary recall named Why Not Natural’s Organic Moringa — Green Superfood capsules (lot A25G051, expiration 07/2028); the company suspended distribution while the FDA and Why Not Natural continued the investigation. (fda.gov) Epidemiologic interviews, traceback work, and whole genome sequencing linked the illnesses to moringa leaf powder: of 67 interviewed cases, 59 (88%) reported consuming a moringa-containing product and isolates from sick people were genetically closely related. (cdc.gov) FDA investigators said recalled products were primarily sold online — including company websites and third‑party platforms such as Amazon, eBay, and Walmart — and prior related recalls also implicated Member’s Mark products sold at Sam’s Club in earlier stages of the probe. (fda.gov) The FDA and CDC marked the outbreak investigation closed in mid‑March 2026 but flagged that moringa‑containing supplements have long shelf lives and advised that all affected products should not be eaten, with instructions to discard or request refunds and to clean surfaces that contacted the products.
