(KTLA) – A salmonella outbreak connected to two superfood supplements is under investigation by federal health officials. The outbreak has affected 65 individuals across 28 states, including California.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on Thursday that these illnesses have been linked to supplements marketed under the brands Live It Up and Why Not Natural. These products were available for purchase on the companies’ websites, as well as on Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.
Here are photos of the impacted products.
At least 14 people have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported, officials said.
Investigators traced the contamination to moringa leaf powder used in both products. Consumers and retailers are urged to thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with the supplements.
The FDA advised anyone who purchased the super greens with expiration dates from August 2026 to January 2028, or the superfood capsules with a July 2028 expiration date, to stop using them and throw them away.
“FDA is working with the firms to determine a root cause of the contamination and remove affected products from the market,” the agency said in a statement.
