Walmart pulled a specific batch of mangoes after a sample from a linked farm flagged Salmonella risk.
Story Snapshot
- Panorama Produce recalled Martina-brand mangoes sold in four states after an FDA-linked farm sample.
- Walmart removed the fruit and blocked sales once notified, according to the company.
- Recalled mangoes have a light blue “Agrofepac” sticker with PLU 4584 and a listed UPC.
- No illnesses were reported at the time of the recall notice.
What triggered the recall and where it applies
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that Panorama Produce recalled 302 boxes of size-nine Martina-brand mangoes over a possible Salmonella risk. The fruit was sold in select Walmart stores in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania from August 10 to August 21.
The importer reported that Food and Drug Administration sampling found Salmonella on mangoes from the same farm as the recalled product, which led to the action. The recall is described as voluntary and coordinated with the agency.
Walmart stated that it acted after notice and removed the product. The company said it also set a sales block at registers and online for the affected mangoes. The firm framed safety as its top priority, and it cited a single pallet as the scope it received that matched the recall.
Walmart’s corporate recall portal lists active product actions and allows customers to search recalls by brand and item category, a tool many shoppers skip until a scare lands close to home.
How to identify the affected mangoes right now
Consumers can match several markers. Cases carried the Martina brand. Individual fruit bore a light blue sticker that reads “Agrofepac,” “Produce of Mexico,” and PLU 4584. Reports also list a case-level Universal Product Code of 07503061948050.
These details matter in a kitchen with mixed fruit on the counter. If a mango has that sticker and came from the listed states and dates, do not eat it. When in doubt, discard it or return it for a refund.
No illnesses were reported when the recall went public, which is the window when action does the most good. Food safety teams often move on a source link before every store lot is tested, because Salmonella can spread during harvest or packing.
Moving fast cuts risk to families while the paper trail gets confirmed. Federal recall playbooks model this exact approach for high-risk pathogens and fresh produce.
Why this fits a larger food safety pattern
Salmonella drives a large share of recalls overseen by the Food and Drug Administration. Two decades of data show biological contamination as a prime reason to pull food, especially fresh items that people eat raw.
Analysts estimate that recalls launched before any known illness can still prevent thousands of cases. The point is simple: quick recalls are not drama; they are defense. They also rely on clear product IDs so shoppers can act without guesswork.
Shoppers do not always hear about recalls on the Food and Drug Administration’s page or a company’s site. Chain stores often spread the word by email and point-of-sale blocks, which beat word-of-mouth. But action depends on clear steps: know the product, believe the risk, find the label, and toss or return it. Each part must work, or food lingers in fridges and fruit bowls when it should not.
What conservative common sense says to do today
Check the sticker first, not the headline. If your mango shows the Agrofepac light blue sticker with PLU 4584 and came from a Walmart in the four listed states during August 10–21, do not eat it. Secure a refund through the store’s normal channels.
Keep the home front safe with simple habits: separate cutting boards for produce and meat, rinse whole fruit under running water, dry with a clean towel, and wash hands after handling raw items. These basics beat panic and waste.

A brief note on scope helps. Reports do not say these exact Walmart mangoes tested positive. The recall ties back to a farm sample from the same source, which is a common trigger for fresh produce.
That is not a reason to shrug. It is a reason to move fast, remove the doubt, and keep the family healthy. The recall system works best when stores act quickly, the agency posts clear IDs, and consumers check labels once and act with confidence.
