Mangoes Recalled Due to Salmonella Outbreak

On August 27, Daniella-brand mangoes imported from Mexico were recalled in the United States due to potential Salmonella contamination. Splendid Products of Burlingame, Calif, which distributes the fruit, issued the recall after the announcement that the fruit had been identified as the likely source of the Salmonella outbreak. Retailers including Copps, Giant Food, Mariano's, Martin's Food Market, Metro Market, Pick'n Save, Rainbow, Stop & Shop, TOP Food & Drug and Costco all recalled Daniella brand mangoes from Mexico due to potential Salmonella contamination. Mangoes recalled for Salmonella Braenderup contamination were labeled with a sticker printed with PLU# 4959. TOP Food & Drug listed mangoes labeled with PLUs 3114, 4051, 4311 and 4584 as subject to recall for Salmonella contamination.

On September 13, the FDA placed Agricola Daniella mangoes on import alert, which means that they will be denied admission into the United States unless the importer can prove they are not contaminated with Salmonella.
