Mangoes produced by Mexico-based Agricola Daniella and imported by Splendid Products, based in Burlingame, Calif., have been placed on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) import alert list and will be denied admission into the United States unless the importer shows they are not contaminated with Salmonella.
FDA also is warning consumers not to eat mangoes from Agricola Daniella because they have been linked to a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Braenderup that has infected 105 people in 16 states. The California Department of Public Health has traced several illnesses of the outbreak strain of Salmonella Braenderup through the supply chain to Agricola Daniella.
On Aug. 24, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recalled Agricola Daniella brand mangoes sold to retailers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon. The recall was expanded to the United States on Aug. 29 when Splendid Products recalled all mangoes from Mexico. Many nationwide retailers followed with their own recalls.
