By placing the mangoes on import alert, Agricola Daniella mangoes will be denied admission into the U.S. unless the importer shows that they are not contaminated with Salmonella, such as by using private laboratories to test the mangoes, FDA said.

Several firms that used Daniella brand mangoes supplied by Splendid Products in their cut fruit products have also initiated recalls.
