Mango products are being recalled for Salmonella contamination. Last week, we wrote that Mexican mangoes were being recalled over Salmonella concerns and explained that U.S. Salmonella cases were being linked to the tainted mangoes, which were first reported in Canada.
To date, the Salmonella outbreak has cut across 16 states, sickening 103 from the U.S. and 22 more in Canada, according to government health officials; about 36 percent of those who have fallen ill have required hospitalization. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the outbreak strain is Salmonella Braenderup.
It can take between six and 72 hours from consumption of a contaminated product for the symptoms of Salmonella poisoning—salmonellosis—to appear. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Additional symptoms include chills, headache, nausea, and vomiting that can last up to seven days. The illness usually lasts four to seven days; however, in some, the organism can invade the bloodstream, becoming so severe that hospitalization is required. Sometimes, infection with the Salmonella pathogen can result in, and produce more severe or chronic illnesses and can leave sufferers with serious life-long health issues. Salmonellosis can be especially life threatening to those with weakened immune systems, such as infants; the elderly; and persons with compromised immune systems, such as people with HIV infection or who are undergoing chemotherapy.
The following recalls were implemented because the recalled products contain Daniella Brand mangoes, which have been recalled by supplier Splendid Products, due to potential contamination with Salmonella Braenderup. The three firms state that no illnesses have been reported related to their recalled products.
