A recall has been issued for mangoes distributed across four states following concerns over potential salmonella contamination. The affected fruit was available for purchase at select Walmart retail locations during an 11-day window, specifically from August 10 through August 21.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. While the recall notice identifies the timeframe and the retailer involved, it does not specify the exact states impacted or the specific brand of mangoes subject to the recall. Consumers who purchased mangoes during this period are advised to check their local store's recall list or contact the retailer directly to verify if their specific purchase is affected. As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the consumption of these products.
