Yes, some Martina-brand mangoes sold at select Walmart stores in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania are subject to a 2026 recall. The available reports identify the affected fruit by its light blue sticker, PLU number 4584 and UPC 07503061948050, along with a sale period from August 10 through August 21, 2026. If your mango matches those details, the reported instruction is to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
Do not decide whether a mango is affected by its flavor, appearance, store alone or a general ingredient check. Recall status depends on the exact identifiers in the notice. The direct FDA announcement was not included in the supplied evidence, so readers should verify the item against the official FDA, Panorama Produce or Walmart recall notice before treating a different mango as part of the recall.
Which mangoes are identified in the recall?
The reports describe Martina-brand mangoes sold in select Walmart stores. The fruit was reportedly shipped between August 10 and August 21, 2026, to Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Each mango is described as carrying a light blue sticker that says “Agrofepac, Produce of Mexico.” The reported PLU is 4584, and the reported UPC is 07503061948050.
Those identifiers are the most useful way to narrow the question. A mango bought at Walmart outside the listed states, outside the stated sale window, or without the matching sticker and codes cannot be confirmed as affected from the evidence supplied here. That does not prove the item is safe; it means the available material does not establish that it is part of this specific recall.
Why was the fruit recalled?
The reported concern is possible Salmonella contamination. Good Housekeeping, citing an FDA-published company announcement, said Panorama Produce recalled 302 boxes of size 9 mangoes on August 28, 2026. The concern arose after FDA samples of mangoes grown on the same farm as the recalled product tested positive for Salmonella. The reports say the sampled mangoes were not distributed, and the recalled fruit had not been determined to be definitively contaminated.
That distinction matters. A recall based on a shared source is a preventive food-safety action, not a finding that every piece of fruit in the identified group contains Salmonella. It also means that cleaning, cutting away part of the mango or checking how it looks cannot establish that a matching item is outside the recall.
What should you do with a matching mango?
- Stop using it. Compare the brand, sticker wording, PLU, UPC, state and purchase window with the official notice.
- Follow the official disposition instruction. The supplied reports say to dispose of the recalled fruit or return it to the store where it was purchased for a refund.
- Check the official recall source. Walmart says its recall page links to manufacturer and regulatory-agency notices containing the steps customers should take. It also warns customers about false recall messages that seek personal information.
- Ask the manufacturer if needed. The reported contact for questions is Panorama Produce at the official administrator, Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
The evidence does not establish a separate refund deadline. It also does not provide a complete list of affected Walmart locations. If you no longer have the sticker or receipt, use the official notice or contact the store or manufacturer rather than assuming the mango is included or excluded.
What symptoms are associated with Salmonella?
The supplied reports say symptoms of salmonellosis can begin six hours to six days after infection. Reported symptoms include diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, headache and loss of appetite. Good Housekeeping, citing CDC information and the company announcement, also reported that illness can be more serious for young children, older or frail people, and people with weakened immune systems.
No illnesses connected to the recalled mangoes had been reported in the supplied evidence. Symptoms can have many causes, so the reports do not establish that a person who becomes ill after eating mango has Salmonella. If you develop concerning symptoms after eating a matching product, contact a healthcare provider and mention the possible exposure. The available evidence does not support giving individualized medical advice or predicting who will become sick.
What remains unverified?
The direct FDA recall notice was not provided, and the reports do not include a complete store-by-store list. The available evidence therefore supports the product identifiers, four-state distribution, sale window and reported action, but it cannot confirm whether every Walmart location in those states carried the mangoes. It also cannot confirm an illness count beyond the statement that no illnesses had been reported at the time of publication.
For that reason, the safest reader decision is identifier-based: compare the fruit with the official notice, and follow the manufacturer or regulator’s instructions for any exact match. Do not broaden the recall to other mango brands, stickers, UPCs or purchase locations without an official update.
This is a narrow, identifier-based recall rather than a broad warning about all mangoes sold at Walmart. The reported concern stems from Salmonella found in samples from the same farm as the recalled fruit, while the distributed mangoes had not been determined to be definitively contaminated. That makes the exact sticker, PLU, UPC, state and sale window central to the reader's decision. The main unresolved issue is the absence of the direct FDA notice and a complete store list in the supplied evidence.
