Plain-English summary

Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., Inc. is voluntarily recalling 1,600 bowls of fresh-cut mangoes. This action is taken in cooperation with an FDA warning regarding mangoes from Agricola Daniella in Mexico. The recall is initiated because the mangoes may contain Salmonella.

The affected products include Seasonal Blend mangoes sold under the Del Monte, 7 Eleven, and Wal-Mart brands in various sizes. The product was distributed directly to retail outlets in Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, and was subsequently shipped further from the firm's direct accounts.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Consumers should check their refrigerators for the affected products and discard them or return them to the store of purchase.
