Mangoes in Canada Sicken Several with Salmonella

I can almost see Canada from my house.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and North American Produce Sales are warning the public not to consume the Mangoes described below because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Braenderup bacteria.

The affected Mangoes, product of Mexico, were sold as individual fruit with a sticker bearing PLU# 4959 and other information. These mangoes were sold at various retail stores between July 12 and August 14, 2012.

These mangoes may have been distributed in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon.

There have been several confirmed illnesses associated with the consumption of these mangoes.

The importer, North American Produce Sales, Vancouver, BC is voluntarily recalling the affected mangoes from the marketplace.
