The 24-page product recall lawsuit says that on or about January 15, 2026, Superfoods announced a voluntary recall of its Live It Up Super Greens, including the Original and Wild Berry flavors, due to possible contamination with salmonella. The case, citing the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), says that, to date, 45 illnesses and 12 hospitalizations nationwide have been possibly linked to the recalled Super Greens.

The case alleges that Superfoods “uniformly misrepresented” its dietary supplements, including by claiming that the products contained “all of the good stuff” and “none of the bad stuff,” and that they were produced using “good manufacturing practices.” To the contrary, the filing alleges Superfoods failed to inspect or test the recalled products and concealed the salmonella contamination from consumers.

The lawsuit, citing the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), stresses that salmonella causes approximately 1.35 million illnesses and tens of thousands of hospitalizations each year. The case notes that although salmonella is only the second-most-prevalent foodborne illness, it is “the leading cause of hospitalizations and death from food poisoning.”

The case elaborates that even healthy individuals infected with salmonella may experience severe symptoms, such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. The lawsuit states that salmonella is more dangerous, and sometimes even fatal, for vulnerable groups, such as young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.

Due to this “known risk,” the case charges, Superfoods should have had quality and preventative measures in place to ensure that ingredients contaminated with salmonella were not used in its supplements.

The Superfoods lawsuit stresses that the plaintiff and other consumers “suffered severe pain and discomfort” and incurred thousands in medical expenses because of the defendant’s alleged negligence.

Had consumers known of the potential for contamination, they would not have purchased or used the products, the lawsuit claims.

The Superfood products at issue in the class action lawsuit include the following:

• -Live it Up Super Greens, NET WT 8.5oz (240g) with UPC 860013190804;
• -Live it Up Super Greens, 30 – 0.28oz (8g) sticks, NET WT. 8.47oz (240g) with UPC 850077468063;
• -Live it Up Super Greens, Wild Berry, NET WT 9.49oz (269.16g), with UPC 860013190811; and
• -Live it Up Super Greens, Wild Berry, 30 – 0.32oz (9g) Sticks, NET WT. 9.52oz (270g), with UPC 850077468070

The case notes that the recalled supplements were primarily sold through the Superfoods website or Amazon, but acknowledges that the affected products may also be sold by unauthorized third-party retailers.

Per the lawsuit, the recalled Live It Up Super Greens may have expiration dates from August 2026 to January 2028.

The Live It Up Super Greens class action lawsuit seeks to cover all individuals in the United States who purchased one or more of the dietary supplements manufactured by Superfoods that were recalled on January 15, 2025.
