Latest Martina Mango Recall and Lawsuit Developments

August 2026

• August 28, 2026 – Panorama Produce announced a voluntary recall of 302 boxes of Martina-brand size 9 mangoes after FDA sampling detected Salmonella in mangoes grown on the same farm. The sampled mangoes were not distributed into U.S. commerce, but Panorama Produce recalled the related fruit because it shared the same source [1]

What Are the Recalled Martina Mangoes?

The recall involves fresh mangoes imported and distributed by Panorama Produce of Mamaroneck, New York, under the Martina brand.

FDA identifies the recalled fruit as size 9 mangoes packaged in Martina-branded cases. Consumers may also identify individual mangoes by their product stickers.

The light-blue sticker reads Agrofepac and Produce of Mexico and carries PLU 4584. FDA also lists UPC 07503061948050 for the recalled product.

Why Were Martina Mangoes Recalled?

The recall was initiated because of potential contamination with Salmonella, a bacterium capable of causing the foodborne illness salmonellosis.

FDA sampling detected Salmonella in mangoes grown on the same farm as the recalled fruit. According to the recall announcement, the sampled mangoes themselves had not entered U.S. commerce.

Because the sampled mangoes and the Martina mangoes shared the same source, Panorama Produce voluntarily initiated the recall in coordination with FDA.

Where Were the Recalled Mangoes Sold?

Panorama Produce distributed the affected mangoes in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Distribution occurred from August 10 through August 21, 2026. FDA states that the mangoes were sold at select Walmart stores.

Consumers attempting to identify the affected fruit should rely on the brand, sticker, PLU, UPC, and other information in the FDA recall announcement rather than assuming every mango sold at Walmart was recalled.

What Is Salmonella?

Salmonella is a group of bacteria that can cause an infection called salmonellosis, usually involving the gastrointestinal tract.

FDA states that common symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Nausea, vomiting, headache, and other symptoms may also occur [2]

Fruit has been associated with previous outbreaks of salmonellosis, demonstrating that contamination is not limited to meat, poultry, or eggs.

How Soon Can Salmonella Symptoms Develop?

CDC says symptoms generally begin about six hours to six days after infection and usually last four to seven days [3]

Diarrhea may be watery and can sometimes contain blood or mucus. Patients may also experience stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, headache, and loss of appetite.

The timing between eating a recalled product and developing symptoms can become important when investigating whether a particular food caused an illness.

Can Salmonella Cause Serious Complications?

Yes. Although many infections resolve without extensive treatment, Salmonella can sometimes spread beyond the intestines.

CDC identifies potential complications including bacteremia, meningitis, bone infection, septic arthritis, and reactive arthritis. Some complications can cause lasting medical problems.

FDA also warns that serious and sometimes fatal infections are more likely in young children, older adults, people who are frail, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Can Salmonella Enter the Bloodstream?

In some cases, Salmonella bacteria can move from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream, a condition known as bacteremia.

The FDA recall announcement notes that bloodstream infection can lead to more severe illnesses, including arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.

Blood cultures, hospitalization records, infectious-disease consultations, and antibiotic treatment records may help document the severity of an individual infection.

Who Is Most at Risk From Salmonella?

People of any age can develop salmonellosis, but severe illness is more likely in certain groups.

FDA identifies young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems as being at greater risk of severe infection.

Underlying medical conditions, age, immune status, dehydration, and whether the infection spreads outside the gastrointestinal tract can affect the seriousness of illness.

How Is Salmonella Infection Diagnosed?

A healthcare provider may order laboratory testing when symptoms and exposure history suggest salmonellosis.

Stool cultures and other laboratory tests can help identify Salmonella. More severe infections may also involve blood cultures or additional testing when clinicians suspect that bacteria have spread beyond the intestines.

A laboratory-confirmed diagnosis can be especially important when evaluating a foodborne-illness claim.

What Evidence Can Connect an Illness to Recalled Mangoes?

Evidence may include Walmart receipts, loyalty or payment records, photographs, produce stickers, packaging, purchase dates, and information showing where the mangoes were purchased.

Medical evidence can include laboratory results, emergency-room records, hospital records, physician notes, antibiotic prescriptions, and infectious-disease consultations.

A timeline showing when the mangoes were purchased and eaten, when symptoms began, and when testing occurred can help evaluate whether the exposure and illness are medically consistent.

Who May Be Affected?

Potentially affected consumers include people who purchased Martina mangoes matching the FDA recall identifiers from affected locations and subsequently developed a medically documented Salmonella infection.

People who required hospitalization, developed an invasive infection, experienced persistent complications, or suffered substantial financial losses may have more significant damages.

Ownership or consumption of recalled fruit alone does not establish an injury claim. Individual causation and damages must still be proven.

Who May Be Liable?

Potentially responsible parties in a contaminated-food case may include growers, importers, distributors, retailers, or other businesses involved in placing the product into commerce.

Potential legal theories may involve negligence, product liability, breach of warranty, food-safety violations, or other claims available under applicable state law.

A voluntary FDA-posted recall does not automatically establish negligence or liability. The product involved, source of contamination, illness, causation, and damages must be evaluated individually.

Do I Qualify?

• Did you eat Martina mangoes matching the identifiers in the August 2026 Panorama Produce recall?
• Were you subsequently diagnosed with a Salmonella infection through laboratory or medical testing?
• Did the infection require hospitalization, significant medical treatment, or cause another serious complication?
• Do you have receipts, product stickers, purchase records, medical records, or other evidence connecting your illness to the recalled mangoes?

An individualized legal review can determine whether product identification, exposure timing, laboratory evidence, causation, damages, and applicable filing deadlines support a potential claim.

What Evidence Should I Preserve?

Preserve Walmart receipts, credit- or debit-card records, online purchase histories, photographs, produce stickers, UPC information, and any communications regarding the recall.

Medical documentation may include laboratory reports, stool or blood cultures, hospitalization records, physician notes, prescriptions, medical bills, and follow-up treatment records.

Consumers with an injury claim should also preserve a written timeline of purchase, consumption, symptom onset, diagnosis, and treatment.
