The Panorama Produce mango recall now covers 302 boxes of Martina-branded fruit sold across four north-eastern US states, after the FDA linked the product to a Salmonella-positive sample from the same farm. According to Prevention, the voluntary recall was announced on 29 August.
Which Products Are Affected by the Panorama Produce Mango Recall?
Panorama Produce is withdrawing 302 boxes of size nine mangoes sold at select Walmart stores in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The fruit is packaged in a Martina-branded case. Individual mangoes carry a light blue sticker marked Agrofpac, Produce of Mexico, with a PLU number of 4584 and a UPC number of 07503061948050.
The affected stock passed through those stores between 10 and 21 August. Anyone who purchased mangoes matching that description from a Walmart location in those four states during that window is advised to check their fruit immediately.
Why the Recall Was Triggered
The FDA’s own sampling detected Salmonella in mangoes grown on the same farm as the recalled stock, though those sampled mangoes were not distributed into US commerce. Because the recalled fruit and the sampled fruit share the same source, Panorama Produce moved to initiate the withdrawal rather than wait for a confirmed case in the supply chain.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the Panorama Produce mango recall to date. That is consistent with the nature of voluntary, precautionary withdrawals, where the contamination signal comes from testing rather than from patients presenting at clinics.
Salmonella: What Consumers Need to Know
Salmonella infection can produce fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain in otherwise healthy adults. The risk is more serious for young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems, where the infection can become severe or, in some cases, fatal.
According to the CDC, as reported by Good Housekeeping, symptoms typically begin between six hours and six days after exposure. For most people, the illness resolves within a few days to a week without medical treatment, though that window can feel considerably longer when it is at its worst.
Anyone who believes they may already be experiencing symptoms connected to the recalled fruit is advised to contact a healthcare provider. The general advice from public health bodies is not to try to manage a suspected Salmonella infection without professional guidance, particularly if the person affected falls into a higher-risk group.
What to Do With the Affected Mangoes
Consumers holding the recalled product should either dispose of it or return it to the Walmart store where it was purchased. Returning the fruit to point of sale is typically the cleaner option, as it allows the retailer to log the return against the affected batch and helps build a clearer picture of how much recalled stock is still in circulation.
Panorama Produce has asked consumers not to consume the fruit under any circumstances, regardless of whether it looks or smells normal. Salmonella contamination is not detectable by appearance or odour, which is precisely why precautionary recalls of this kind are issued rather than leaving the judgement to the consumer.
The FDA announcement on 29 August sets the formal clock running on the recall process. Consumers with questions about the product or the recall procedure can contact Panorama Produce directly or raise the matter with the store where the fruit was purchased.
