Brooks Tropicals Recalls Avocados for Possible Salmonella

Brooks Tropicals of Florida is recalling 401 boxes of fresh, green-skinned avocados because a routine sampling by the FDA found Salmonella bacteria, according to The Grower. Only fruit shipped with the lot number 2610 is included in this recall. No illnesses connected to the consumption of this product have been reported to date.

Warning Recall SignThe fruit was shipped to Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and New Jersey. The company thinks that no product is on store shelves, since the product was packed on July 15, 2014, and they are now well beyond the average shelf life of avocados, which is about 10 days.

If you purchased this product, do not eat it. Discard in double bagged containers or return to the place of purchase for a refund.

The symptoms of a Salmonella infection include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, and blood in the stool. They usually appear six to seventy-two hours after exposure to the bacteria. If you ate the recalled avocados and have been sick, please see your doctor.
