What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the source text explicitly states that Salmonella can cause 'serious and sometimes fatal infections,' meeting the criteria for a Critical (5) rating due to the potential for fatalities.

Plain-English summary

Del Monte Fresh Produce North America, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 7 Eleven brand Strawberry/Kiwi/Mango, 6 oz. bowls (UPC 0-52548-51979-7) in cooperation with an FDA warning regarding mangoes from Agricola Daniella in Mexico. The recall involves 1,600 bowls of fresh-cut mangoes distributed to retail outlets. The product carries best-by dates of 9/28/12 and 9/29/12.

The recall is being initiated due to the potential risk that the mangoes may contain Salmonella. 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. While most healthy people recover from Salmonella infections without treatment, the infection can become serious in some cases.

The product was distributed directly to the states of Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, and was then shipped further from the firm's direct accounts. Consumers who have purchased this product should check their pantries for the specific UPC and best-by dates listed above. If found, consumers should not consume the product and should return it to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
