In the FDA's words

Lexunder Inc., doing business as Food To Live of Brooklyn, NY, is recalling Food to Live brand green powder products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella , an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

The products were sold nationwide. They were sold online to consumers and businesses through foodtolive.com, foodinbulk.com, and other online marketplaces.

The recalled Food to Live branded products were sold in resealable stand-up pouches and bulk cases, weighing 33, 44, and 55 pounds.
