The FDA just announced more recalls for Daniella mangoes imported from Mexico and products made with the fruit for possible Salmonella Braenderup contamination. The fruit is linked to a multistate outbreak that has sickened 105 people in 16 states.
Winn-Dixie has announced a recall of cut fruit produced by Renaissance Food Group. Here’s where the recall gets confusing, because the names and the UPC numbers are the same as the World Food products recalled earlier today. So pay attention to UPC numbers and sell-by dates to see if you have any of these products. Return the products to a Winn-Dixie store for a full refund; or call 866-946-6349 Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm ET; Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm ET.
The products recalled by Winn-Dixie include Garden Highway Tropical Salsa Cut Fruit in 11 ounce pack, with UPC number 82676642210 and sell-by dates of 8/31/12 an 9/1/12. Also Fruit Burst Cut Fruit with UPC numbers 2114001701 in 16 ounce containers and 2114001707 in 24 ounce containers. Both of those sizes have sell by dates of 8/30/12 and 8/31/12. Finally, Island Medley Cut Fruit in 16 ounce containers, with UPC number 2114001696 and sell-by dates of 8/30/12 and 8/31/12 is recalled.
The recalled products have a plant number of P-009 on the product label to the left of the UPC number. There have been no reports of issues associated with the consumption of these products. These products were sold in central and south Florida stores in the following counties: Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Flagler, Hardee, Hendry, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lake, Lee, Manatee, Marion, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Saint Lucie, Sarasota, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia.
