Mango Recall in Four States: Salmonella Risk Prompts Walmart Pull
Shoppers in the Northeast should check their fruit baskets. Panorama Produce, a New York-based distributor, has issued a recall for approximately 302 boxes of size 9 mangoes due to potential Salmonella contamination. The affected mangoes were distributed to Walmart stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, and were sold between August 1 and August 30, 2026. The recall was announced in a notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and reported by Food Safety News.
The recall was initiated after routine testing revealed the presence of Salmonella, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. For most healthy individuals, the illness lasts four to seven days, but in some cases, it can be severe enough to require hospitalization.
Consumers who purchased mangoes from Walmart in the affected states should look for the product details to determine if their mangoes are part of the recall. The recall specifically applies to size 9 mangoes, which are typically sold in a 4-pound bag or as individual fruit with a PLU sticker. The affected mangoes were distributed by Panorama Produce and may have a label indicating the company’s name. It is important to note that not all mangoes are affected, so checking the packaging or sticker is crucial.
If you have any of the recalled mangoes, do not eat them. You can return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For any questions or concerns, contact Panorama Produce at [phone number] or visit the FDA’s recall page for more information. The company is cooperating with the FDA to ensure the safety of consumers. Stay informed and check your fruit – your health is worth the extra minute.
