Walmart Mangoes Recalled Over Salmonella Fears
1 Sep
Summary
- Hundreds of boxes of Martina-brand mangoes are recalled.
- Salmonella contamination was a potential risk found by FDA.
- Recalled mangoes were sold at Walmart stores in four states.
Federal regulators have announced a recall affecting 302 boxes of Martina-brand mangoes sold at Walmart stores. The recall, initiated by Panorama Produce, stems from potential salmonella contamination detected by the FDA. The recalled mangoes were distributed between August 10 and August 21.
These specific mangoes were available at select Walmart locations across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. They are identified by a light blue Agrofepac sticker, labeled 'Produce of Mexico,' with PLU number 4584 and UPC 07503061948050.
While no illnesses have been reported, consumers are advised to discard or return the affected mangoes. Salmonella can cause severe infections, particularly in vulnerable populations. Panorama Produce is cooperating voluntarily with the FDA on this food safety measure.
