Mangoes sold at select Walmart stores in four states are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. Panorama Produce announced the recall after federal sampling detected the bacteria in mangoes grown on the same farm as the fruit that reached U.S. stores.
The recall covers 302 boxes of size 9 mangoes distributed between August 10 and August 21, 2026, in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted the recall on August 29.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled mangoes so far, according to the FDA recall notice.
How to Identify the Recalled Mangoes?

The mangoes were shipped in cases carrying the Martina brand, but shoppers are more likely to have individual fruit at home rather than the original box.
The easiest way to check is to look at the sticker on the mango.
| Detail | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Brand on case | Martina |
| Sticker | Light blue |
| Name on sticker | Agrofepac |
| Country | Produce of Mexico |
| PLU | 4584 |
| UPC | 07503061948050 |
Consumers who have mangoes matching those details should not eat them. The FDA says the fruit should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
Where Were the Mangoes Sold?
The recalled fruit was sent to select Walmart stores in:
- Connecticut
- New York
- New Jersey
- Pennsylvania
The distribution period ran from August 10 through August 21.
ABC27 reported that the recall affected select Walmart locations in Pennsylvania, making the product especially relevant for shoppers who bought fresh mangoes there during the second half of August.
Why Were the Mangoes Recalled?
The recalled mangoes themselves were not the fruit that originally tested positive.
FDA sampling found Salmonella in mangoes grown on the same farm. Those sampled mangoes did not enter U.S. commerce, but the fruit sold through Walmart came from the same source.
Panorama Produce then issued the voluntary recall as a precaution.
That distinction matters. The recall is based on a shared source and a confirmed Salmonella finding at the farm, not on reported illnesses linked directly to the mangoes sold in stores.
Salmonella infection commonly causes diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms can begin within roughly 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and can last several days.
Young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems face a greater risk of serious illness. Severe cases can require hospital treatment, and the bacteria can occasionally spread beyond the digestive system.
Anyone who ate one of the recalled mangoes and later developed symptoms should contact a healthcare provider and mention the possible Salmonella exposure.
The Walmart mango recall is not an isolated case. Several food recalls involving Salmonella have been announced in recent months.
In May, Blackstone Parmesan Ranch seasoning sold at Walmart was recalled over a Salmonella risk. That recall involved dry milk powder supplied by California Dairies and eventually affected several products across the food industry.
We also recently covered the recall of nearly 19 million eggs over a possible Salmonella risk, which affected several major grocery brands across six states.
What Shoppers Should Do Now?
Anyone who bought mangoes from Walmart in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania between August 10 and August 21 should check the sticker before eating the fruit.
Look specifically for the light blue Agrofepac sticker, PLU 4584 and the Produce of Mexico label.
If the mango matches the recall details:
- do not eat it
- throw it away or return it to the store
- wash hands after handling it
- clean surfaces or containers that came into contact with the fruit
Salmonella does not reliably change the appearance, smell or taste of food, so a mango that looks fresh can still present a risk.
No Illnesses Have Been Reported So Far
As of the latest FDA notice, Panorama Produce has not received reports of illness tied to the recalled mangoes.
The recall is voluntary and is being carried out with the FDA. Consumers with questions can contact Panorama Produce at information@panoramaproduce.com between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Saturday.
