Brooklyn superfood brand Food to Live is recalling nine green powder products nationwide after the Food and Drug Administration detected salmonella in a retail sample of its Organic Supergreens Mix, Hoodline reported.
These powders are typically prepared without cooking, which would otherwise neutralize the pathogen, increasing the risk of illness for affected consumers.
What happened?
Lexunder Inc., which sells the products under the name Food to Live, said the recall began after the FDA found salmonella in a retail sample of Organic Supergreens Mix.
No illnesses tied to the recall had been announced at the time, and federal officials said the problem was uncovered through retail surveillance.
The product was identified as an 8-ounce package of Organic Supergreens Mix with the lot code SO-77820.
Among the nine recalled lines are Organic SuperGreens Powder Mix, Organic Moringa Leaf Powder, Organic Kale Powder, and Organic Wheatgrass Powder.

The products were sold nationwide online through Food to Live's website and on foodinbulk.com, with package sizes ranging from small consumer bags to bulk cases weighing up to 55 pounds.
The company also issued a nationwide voluntary recall in November 2025 for similar moringa and supergreens products.
Why does it matter?
Salmonella contamination can be especially concerning in powdered foods because people often add them directly to drinks or meals without cooking them.
Unlike foods that are heated before eating, these products may go straight from the package into a blender bottle, smoothie, or other cold meals.
Food to Live sold the powders nationwide to both individual consumers and businesses, which widens the scope of potentially affected buyers.
As such, the affected items could be sitting in household pantries, wellness shops, or commercial kitchens in large quantities.
Food safety experts also warned that the dry product has a longer shelf life than many products affected by recalls, meaning contaminated units could remain unidentified in home environments and commercial kitchens well after the recall was initiated.
What can I do?
Anyone who has Food to Live green powders at home should stop using them until they verify whether the products are included in the recall.
Checking the product name, package size, and lot code is the fastest way to determine whether an item may be affected.
If you bought these powders in bulk for a business or shared kitchen, isolate the inventory and avoid serving or selling it until it is cleared.
It is also wise to clean containers, scoops, and surfaces that may have come into contact with the powder.
While investigating the source of the contamination, the company said it had paused production and distribution.
