US: Organic mangos recalled for possible listeria contamination

San Francisco-based Pacific Organic Produce has recalled a number of cases of organic Tommy Atkins mangos sold under the “Purity Organic” brand between April 14 and May 2. No illnesses have yet been associated with the recalled organic mangos, but the fruit may be contaminated with potentially deadly Listeria monocytogenes.

The PLU numbers on those recalled cases are 94051 & 94959. The PLU number is printed in the middle of the PLU sticker on the fruit.

The organic produce business issued a statement saying the recall was issued as a precaution because a single sample in an FDA test yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes.

Pacific Organic Produce also said it was coordinating closely with regulatory officials and has contacted its customers to ensure that any remaining recalled products are removed.

The mangos were shipped to retailers and distributors in limited quantities only to Arizona, California, Colorado, New Jersey and Texas. The recall notice did not say where the mangos were grown.
