Plain-English summary
Del Monte Fresh Produce North America, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 1,600 bowls of fresh-cut mangoes. The product, labeled as 'Fruit Bowl, generic, 48 oz.', was sold at Wal-Mart stores.

While most healthy adults recover from salmonellosis without treatment, some cases can be severe.
The product was distributed directly to the states of Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, and was subsequently shipped further from the firm's direct accounts.
