Reason for recall

In cooperation with the FDA warning to not consume mangoes from Agricola Daniella, Mexico. FreshLine of Indianapolis, Indiana, has initiated a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of expired products that contain fresh-cut mangoes due to the potential risk that the mangoes may contain Salmonella.

Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
