Helados Mexico mango bars in the variety pack - recalled due to Salmonella

2 weeks ago •source www.fda.gov

Recall notice

Tropicale Foods of Modesto, CA is voluntarily recalling 5,224 units of Helados Mexico Mini Cream Variety Pack with best by date of “MO Best By 10/11/2025”, because the mango bars in the variety pack have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Product was distributed at retail … See More
locations in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virgina, Wisconsin, West Virgina, Washington, DC, and certain locations in Europe. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The product best by date can be found on the bottom of the retail box. A photograph of the package can be found below.

Finished product testing on the mango bars revealed that the finished product may contain Salmonella. The company has ceased distribution of the affected product. The company is conducting an investigation as to what caused the problem and will take effective action to prevent any future issue.

Consumers who have the affected product should not consume this product.

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

That doesnt sound like food poisoning. It seems more like you have had an allergic reaction.

user-xrmcz471

Hi, thanks for your comment. TIP: some symptoms of food poisoning can resemble those of an allergic reaction. Both conditions can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. However, food poisoning is caused by consuming food contaminated with harmful pathogens, while food allergies are a result of the body's immune system reacting to a food it mistakenly identifies as harmful.
