The recalled papayas were distributed to markets and grocery stores in the state of California from August 10 until August 29, 2017.
The FDA issued the recall after a papaya that was not sold tested positive for Salmonella on September 8, 2017. Infections with Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and sometimes severe complications:
Salmonella infection can result in the organism entering the bloodstream and producing serious diseases such as arterial infections (ie, infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.”
The recalled papayas have a yellow sticker with the label of the packing company, “Frutas Selectas de Tijuana, S. de R.L. of C.V. I.”
The company that grew the papayas is “Productores y Exportadores de Carica Papaya de Tecoman y Costa Alegre S.P.R. de R.L.”
