The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has expanded a recall of superfood supplements that has already sickened dozens of people nationwide, with Wisconsin logging the highest number of cases.
As of Jan. 29, the two recalled dietary supplements have been linked to salmonella infections in 65 people across 28 states, according to the FDA. The recall was initially only issued for a dietary supplement powder by the brand Live It Up, but the FDA added capsules from the brand Why Not Natural last week.
The first Wisconsin resident to become ill reported symptoms starting Oct. 1, 2025, according to a Jan. 15 news release from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Here’s what to know about the recall, including what to do if you’ve purchased the products:
Which products are being recalled?
The following products are being recalled, per the FDA:
- Live it Up-brand Super Greens dietary supplement powder with lot numbers beginning with “A,” including both original and wild berry flavors. All stick pack products with 08/2026 to 01/2028 have also been recalled.
- Why Not Natural Pure Organic Moringa Green Superfood capsules with lot number A25G051 and an expiration date of 07/2028 marked on the bottom of the bottle. The product comes in 120-capsule bottles.
Both products were sold nationwide, primarily online through their company websites, as well as through Amazon, eBay and Walmart.
How many people have gotten sick in Wisconsin?
As of Feb. 2, Wisconsin has 12 cases linked to the outbreak, including two hospitalizations, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Wisconsin is the only state to report more than five cases, per the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions.
Nationwide, there have been 14 hospitalizations. No deaths have been reported.
What to do if you purchased recalled supplements
Here’s what you should do if you own any of the recalled products, according to the Wisconsin DHS:
- Do not consume the product, and throw it away or return it.
- Use hot soapy water or a dishwasher to wash any items and surfaces that may have come into the contact with the product.
- If you have consumed either of the products and are experiencing severe symptoms of salmonella infection, contact your heath care provider.
Symptoms of salmonella
Symptoms of salmonella usually start between 12 to 72 hours after swallowing the contaminated food, typically presenting as diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, according to the FDA.
Most people will recover without treatment after four to seven days, but some are at increased risk of severe symptoms and hospitalization. This includes people with weakened immune systems, children younger than 5 years old and adults 65 or older.
Per the Wisconsin DHS, severe symptoms include:
- Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102 degrees
- Diarrhea for more than 3 days that is not improving
- Bloody diarrhea
- Vomiting to the point you cannot keep liquids down
- Signs of dehydration, including dizziness, less peeing, and dry mouth and throat
Wisconsin guard Andrew Rohde reflects on early March Madness exit
Wisconsin guard Andrew Rohde said the Badgers ‘thought we could do so many things’ in the NCAA Tournament before it ended abrupty with an upset loss.
Wisconsin men’s basketball has added a sharpshooting wing via the transfer portal.
Miami (Ohio) transfer Eian Elmer has signed with the Badgers, the team announced April 18. The 6-foot-7 wing will join UW with one year of eligibility remaining.
Elmer averaged a career-high 12.7 points and 5.9 rebounds while shooting 49.8% from the field and 42.9% from 3-point range in 2025-26. His production helped the RedHawks go 32-2 and earn an at-large NCAA Tournament bid.
“We are really excited to add another excellent addition to our spring signees,” UW coach Greg Gard said in a release. “Eian brings a wealth of experience and scoring punch as a 6-7 wing. … A terrific shooter, his skillset and production fit excellently into our plan as we build out next year’s team. Throughout our evaluation process, our staff loved his size, power and skill and truly believe he will thrive in our system.”
Elmer is Wisconsin’s third transfer portal addition since the end of the 2025-26 season, joining former George Washington guard Trey Autry and former Hofstra forward Victory Onuetu. UW also added Australian guard Owen Foxwell.
The additions of Autry, Onuetu and now Elmer leave Gard’s staff with three more roster spots to fill ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The Badgers are looking to replace much of their production from a 2025-26 team that went 24-11. Nolan Winter is expected to be the team’s only returning starter after John Blackwell and Aleksas Bieliauskas entered the transfer portal and Nick Boyd and Andrew Rohde exhausted their eligibility.

How Aleksas Bieliauskas has grown in first season with Wisconsin Badgers
Wisconsin coach Greg Gard has high praise for Aleksas Bieliauskas about a month into the Lithuania native’s freshman season.
MADISON – One of Wisconsin men’s basketball’s departing transfers is headed to an SEC program with some connections to the Badgers.
Ex-UW forward Aleksas Bieliauskas has committed to South Carolina, he announced on April 17.
Bieliauskas left the Badgers after appearing in all 35 games as a freshman and making 28 starts. He averaged 4.9 points and 4.4 points in 20.2 minutes, and highlights of his freshman year included his five 3-pointers in UW’s upset over eventual national champion Michigan.
He’ll join a program with plenty of Wisconsin ties. South Carolina head coach Lamont Paris was an assistant coach at Wisconsin from 2010-17 on Bo Ryan and Greg Gard’s staffs. South Carolina assistant coach Tanner Bronson and director of video services Roman DiPasquale also are UW alumni.
Bieliauskas is the second of UW’s four departing transfers to commit to a new school. Reserve forward Jack Robison committed to North Dakota State on April 15. Starting guard John Blackwell and reserve forward Riccardo Greppi have not announced their next schools yet.
