Core Tip: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Sobeys Inc. are warning the public not to consume the store-made Tropical Fruit Salad described below because it may be contaminated with Salmonella Braenderup bacteria.
The affected product, store-made Tropical Fruit Salad, 16oz. size, may contain Daniella brand mango as an ingredient. This product was sold only at Southbrook Sobeys, 1109 James Mowatt Trail SW, Edmonton, Alberta up to and including August 29, 2012.

Long-term complications may include severe arthritis. If you think you have illness symptoms related to salmonellosis, please contact your family doctor.
