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 score of 4. Additionally, the source text explicitly states that Salmonella can cause 'sometimes fatal infections,' and the rubric dictates a score of 5 if known fatalities or death risks are explicitly described in the context of the hazard.

Plain-English summary

Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., Inc. is initiating a voluntary recall of 1,600 bowls of fresh-cut mangoes. The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the FDA's warning regarding mangoes from Agricola Daniella in Mexico. The product was distributed to retail outlets due to the potential risk that the mangoes may contain Salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children and frail individuals. The source text does not specify the exact retail locations, specific dates, or additional distribution details beyond the initial shipment to retail outlets.

Consumers who have purchased these fresh-cut mango bowls should stop consuming them immediately. The recall is voluntary and is being managed in coordination with the FDA to mitigate the health risks associated with the potential pathogen.
