#  Supplements sickness

 Written on 01 February 2026.

Dozens of people have become sick after ingesting supplement powders, according to federal officials.  Forty-five people are confirmed to have Salmonella infections across 21 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on its website.

Of the patients, 12 required hospital care. No deaths have been reported as of yet.

Epidemiologic data indicate the current outbreak was caused by several different types of supplement powder called Live It Up Super Greens, according to the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration, including the company’s Original and Wild Berry flavors.

Of 20 people who became sick and were interviewed by health officials, 16 reported ingesting a powder from the company.

Laboratory data also showed that bacteria from sick people were closely related genetically, suggesting people got sick from the same food. Officials are working to trace the products that ill people reported consuming and sample the products to definitively determine whether the powders caused the outbreak.
