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.

Plain-English summary

F&S Produce Co., Inc. of Rosenhayn, NJ is initiating a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of expired products that contain fresh-cut mangoes. The affected products are Delish Pineapple, Mango and cantaloupe Spears, Net Wt. 5 oz., prepared for Walgreens Inc. The recall covers units with a code date on or before August 28, 2012, and the specific UPC 0-49022-53701-9.

The recall is being conducted because Daniella brand mangoes distributed by F&S Produce may be contaminated with Salmonella, a finding that triggered a separate FDA recall by Splendid Products. The agency has classified this recall as Class I, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

Approximately 1,640 units were distributed to retail locations in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Florida, and Washington D.C. Consumers who have purchased these products should check their code dates and UPCs. If the products match the description, consumers should not consume them and should return them to the place of purchase or dispose of them.
