Production has been suspended while the FDA and the company continue their investigation into the source of the problem.
Salmonella is an organism that may cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA. Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, (potentially bloody) diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, infection may spread to the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
The FDA is still determining if additional recalls related to the outbreak are necessary, and they are conducting a traceback investigation of products that ill people reported consuming before falling sick.
What to do with the recalled product
If you have purchased a recalled product, the FDA recommends disposing of it immediately and cleaning any surfaces it may have come into contact with. You can request a refund by contacting Live it Up at [email protected] and providing your name, order number, and a photo of the product you purchased.
