One tiny sticker tells you which mangoes to throw out.

Panorama Produce is recalling 302 boxes of mangoes sold at Walmart because they may be contaminated with Salmonella, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The fruit reached select Walmart stores in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania between August 10 and August 21, 2026. Panorama Produce initiated the recall on August 28, and the FDA published the notice on August 29. No illnesses have been reported so far.

Panorama Produce says the recall is voluntary and that it is coordinating with the FDA. Panorama Produce acted after FDA testing turned up Salmonella in mangoes grown on the same farm. Those particular mangoes never entered U.S. commerce, but the recalled fruit came from the same source, so the company pulled it as a precaution.

Check the sticker before you slice

The recalled fruit is a size 9 mango, and it ships packed in a Martina-branded case. That case is the first thing to look for if you still have the box the mangoes came in.

If you already tossed the box, each individual mango carries its own tell. Look for a light blue sticker printed with the name Agrofepac and the words Produce of Mexico. The PLU number on that sticker is 4584, and the UPC is 07503061948050. The PLU is the generic industry code for mangoes and will match fruit that is not part of the recall, so it is the Agrofepac sticker, the Martina case and the UPC that settle it.

Those tiny codes matter more than they look. Two mangoes can sit side by side in the same fruit bowl and only one of them is part of the recall. The sticker is what separates the two.

Four states got the shipment

Only shoppers in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are in the distribution area. If you bought mangoes at a Walmart somewhere else, this recall does not touch you.

The window is narrow too. The mangoes went out between August 10 and August 21, 2026. Anyone who grabbed loose mangoes at a Walmart in one of those four states during that stretch is the exact person this notice is aimed at. Buy them earlier or later, or in a different state, and you are almost certainly fine.

Why pull fruit that tested clean

The 302 boxes themselves were not the ones that tested positive. The FDA found Salmonella in a separate batch of mangoes grown on the same farm, and that batch never made it to American stores.

So why recall anything at all? Because the recalled boxes and the contaminated boxes share one origin. Rather than gamble on the idea that the problem stayed neatly on one side of the farm, Panorama Produce chose to remove the boxes voluntarily while it works with federal regulators. That is a cautious call, not a confirmed contamination in the fruit that reached shelves.

One thing worth knowing: you cannot spot Salmonella by looking. The fruit does not turn a strange color, and it does not smell off. That is exactly why the recall points you to a sticker and a set of numbers instead of telling you to eyeball your mangoes.

Sold at Walmart is not the same as recalled by Walmart

Walmart is where these mangoes were sold, but Walmart did not issue the recall. Panorama Produce did. That distinction trips people up constantly, and it changes who you deal with if you want your money back.

A product can land on Walmart's recalls page simply because the store carried it, not because the retailer flagged the problem. When a notice says the item was sold at Walmart, the store is just the storefront. For the actual recall details, the product codes and the refund process, you go to the company or the regulator behind the notice. In this case, that is Panorama Produce and the FDA.

It also means you should not wait for a text or an email from Walmart before acting. If your mango matches the label details, the recall applies to you whether or not anyone contacts you directly.

What to do if you bought them

If the mangoes in your kitchen match the Martina case or the blue Agrofepac sticker with PLU 4584 and UPC 07503061948050, do not eat them. Throw them out, or take them back to the store and return them to the place of purchase.

Not sure whether your mango is one of them because you already ate a few and pitched the box? The FDA notice tells consumers to go by the product identifiers rather than by where or when they shopped, and no store list has been published.

Anyone who bought the fruit and feels sick can contact a healthcare provider. Recalls like this one are precautionary, and again, no illnesses have been tied to these mangoes to date.

How to reach the company with questions

People who want more information, or who want to confirm whether their fruit fits the description, can email Panorama Produce at information@panoramaproduce.com. The company answers Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern.

The scale here is small. Three hundred and two boxes is not a nationwide sweep, and the recall is limited to select stores in four states over a 12-day window. But if you did your grocery run at a Walmart in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania in the back half of August, the price of being careful is about five seconds of squinting at a sticker.

Check the sticker. Check the UPC. If they match, the mango goes in the trash or back to the store, not on your cutting board.
