Townsend Farms Inc. voluntarily recalls mango chunks, products sold at Kroger Stores

Texas - Townsend Farms Inc. out of an abundance of caution voluntarily recalled specific frozen fruit products linked to mango chunks due to potential listeria contamination.

The company says multiple frozen fruits with mango products under the brand Private Selection were recalled due to possible Listeria monocytogenes.

The product was distributed to Kroger Stores in multiple states including Texas and under the following banners: Baker’s, Dillons, Food 4 Less, FoodsCo, Fry’s, Gerbes, Jay C, Mariano's, Metro Market, Pay Less, Pick n’ Save, Ralphs, Ruler, and Smith’s from November 06, 2022, to March 16, 2023.

According to the FDA, listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Short-term symptoms can include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, but the infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
