Over 120 persons infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Braenderup have been reported from 15 states in the USA.
Collaborative investigation efforts of state, local, and federal public health and regulatory agencies indicate that mangoes are a likely source of this outbreak.
- On August 29, Splendid Products of Burlingame, California issued a voluntary recall of certain lots of Daniella brand mangoes because they may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria.
- On September 13, FDA placed Agricola Daniella on Import Alert. This means that Agricola Daniella mangoes will be denied admission into the United States unless the importer shows they are not contaminated with Salmonella, such as by using private laboratories to test the mangoes.
Consumers who purchased Daniella brand mangoes are advised not to eat them and discard any remaining Daniella mangoes. Daniella brand mangoes can be identified by product stickers. For mangoes without stickers, consumers should ask their retailer for brand information.
