January 29, 2026: FDA Traces Contamination to Moringa Leaf Powder

The FDA’s traceback investigation found a common manufacturer supplying moringa leaf powder to both Live it Up Super Greens and a Why Not Natural supplement. The finding came in a January 29, 2026 update.

January 20, 2026: FDA Publishes Recall Notice, Expands Distribution

The FDA published Superfoods, Inc.’s recall notice on January 20, 2026. That same day, the company expanded the recall to nationwide U.S. distribution and to the United Kingdom.

The notice originally covered only lots sold directly to consumers. It was corrected on January 26 and 27, 2026. The fix changed the Wild Berry pouch’s listed net weight from 8.5 ounces to 9.49 ounces.

January 15, 2026: Superfoods, Inc. Announces Voluntary Recall

Superfoods, Inc., doing business as Live it Up, announced a voluntary recall on January 15, 2026. The recall covered all Live it Up Super Greens Original and Wild Berry products.

Covered lots began with the letter A, including every stick pack product, with expiration dates from 08/2026 through 01/2028. The company acted after the FDA recommended a recall based on early outbreak findings.

January 14, 2026: FDA and CDC Announce Outbreak Investigation

The FDA and CDC announced an outbreak investigation on January 14, 2026. It was a multistate Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak linked to Live it Up Super Greens. The firm agreed to begin a voluntary recall at the FDA’s recommendation.

At that point, the agencies had counted 45 cases spanning 21 U.S. states, with 12 hospitalized and no deaths. That was an early snapshot, well short of the outbreak’s eventual final count.

Which Live It up Super Greens Are Affected?

The recall covers four Live it Up Super Greens products. They come in Original and Wild Berry flavors, in pouch and stick-pack sizes.

Look for these identifiers on the package. Check the FDA’s recall notice or the product packaging to confirm your item’s lot code and expiration date:

• Original pouch, net weight 8.5 ounces, lot codes beginning with A, expiration dates 08/2026 through 01/2028
• Original stick packs, net weight 8.47 ounces, lot codes beginning with A or 3
• Wild Berry pouch, net weight 9.49 ounces, corrected from an earlier 8.5-ounce label
• Wild Berry stick packs, net weight 9.52 ounces, lot codes beginning with A or 3

Why Was Live It up Super Greens Recalled?

Live it Up Super Greens was recalled because of possible Salmonella contamination traced to a moringa leaf powder ingredient. The FDA’s Recall Reason Description listed the hazard as potential foodborne illness from Salmonella contamination.

The agency’s traceback investigation later found a common manufacturer of moringa leaf powder. That manufacturer’s powder supplied Live it Up Super Greens as well as a Why Not Natural product.

That traceback finding is detailed in the January 29, 2026 update below. It also ties this recall to a related moringa product recall. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in humans.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The FDA and CDC’s final count reached 131 illnesses across 38 states, including 36 hospitalizations, with no deaths reported. The last reported illness began on June 14, 2026, and the agencies say the outbreak is now closed.

Reports came from consumers across the country who said they became ill after eating the product. Illness onset dates ranged from late August 2025 to mid-June 2026. An early January count was lower than the final figure reported later.

The reported illness and hospitalization counts above reflect reports made to health officials. They do not prove every reported illness was caused by this specific product.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who has Live it Up Super Greens at home should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the product immediately, and do not eat, sell, or serve it to anyone.
2. Dispose of the product, or return it to the place of purchase if accepted.
3. Request a refund by emailing recall@artofenso.com; include your name, order number, and a picture of the lot code. The window closed May 29, 2026.
4. Contact the FDA’s Industry and Consumer Assistance office to report a complaint or an adverse reaction.
5. Watch for Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and cramps, which begin 12 to 72 hours after eating the product.
6. Contact a healthcare provider right away if symptoms are severe, or if you are a child, older adult, or immunocompromised.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Two other companies recalled moringa-based supplements linked to the same contamination source. Art Monkey LLC, doing business as Why Not Natural, recalled its Pure Organic Moringa Green Superfood capsules on January 28, 2026.

Total Nutrition Inc. recalled its TNVitamins and Doctor’s Pride moringa lots in May and June 2026. A later FDA test found Salmonella in ingredient samples from its supplier. The strain did not match the outbreak.

Legal Options

Two individual lawsuits are pending against Superfoods, Inc. in New York’s Southern District. Adkins’s consumer-fraud case was filed in February 2026, and the Rotherham family’s personal-injury case was filed in July 2026. Both are detailed in the updates above.

No multidistrict litigation has been formed for these claims. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation.

Anyone who became ill after using this product may want to speak with a lawyer promptly. A lawyer can help explain their legal options and next steps.

Filing Deadlines

State law sets the deadline for filing a claim over a foodborne-illness recall. The recall announcement itself does not start or change that clock. These time limits can be easy to miss without legal guidance.

How much time someone has can depend on where they live and when their illness and diagnosis occurred. Some states start the clock at diagnosis instead of at the date of exposure.

Missing the applicable deadline can end a claim, even one with strong supporting facts. Anyone concerned about a possible deadline should speak with a lawyer promptly.
