Hundreds of mangoes sold at several Walmart locations across the Northeast have been recalled due to potential salmonella concerns, federal health officials say.
Importer Panorama Produce issued the recall on Aug. 28, citing that 302 boxes of size 9 mangoes "may be contaminated" with the bacteria, according to a notice published on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website.
Salmonella infection can cause diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms generally begin six hours to six days after exposure. The FDA said that no illnesses linked to the recall have been reported.
When were the recalled mangoes sold?
The FDA
says the mangoes were sold on dates ranging from Aug. 10 to Aug. 21 in the following states:
- Connecticut
- New York
- New Jersey
- Pennsylvania
The agency noted what consumers should look out for to identify the recalled fruits: "The recalled mangoes are packaged in a Martina-branded case. The individual mangoes can be identified by a light blue sticker with the label Agrofepac, Produce of Mexico, and a PLU number of 4584 and UPC #07503061948050."
