Del Monte recalls mango products due to salmonella risk

Oct. 1, 2012—Del Monte recalled certain mango products, because these products might be contaminated with salmonella. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and individuals who have weakened immune systems.

A list of the recalled products and their UPC and “best by” dates can be found on Food and Drug Administration’s website www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm321783.htm.

The recalled products were sold at retail stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. No illnesses were reported. Consumers shouldn’t consume the recalled products and should discard them.
