Federal regulators announced Friday that hundreds of boxes of mangoes sold at Walmart stores are being recalled due to potential salmonella contamination.

At least 302 boxes of Martina-brand mangoes are included in the recall initiated by Panorama Produce, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The affected fruit is packaged in nine-count boxes containing large mangoes.

The recalled mangoes were sold at select Walmart locations in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, and were distributed between Aug. 10 and Aug. 21.

The safety alert was issued after FDA testing reportedly detected salmonella in mangoes grown on the same farm as the recalled fruit. Officials said the mangoes that tested positive were not distributed in U.S. commerce.

"The recalled mangoes and the sampled mangoes share the same source, therefore Panorama Produce has initiated a recall," the notice said.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled mangoes.

The affected mangoes bear a light blue Agrofepac sticker, are labeled "Produce of Mexico," and carry PLU number 4584 and UPC number 07503061948050.

Mexico is a major source of mangoes sold in the United States, and imported produce has been the subject of past FDA salmonella alerts. Under the FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act, produce imported into the U.S. market is subject to preventive controls and inspection requirements, and recalls of this type are typically conducted voluntarily by the importer in coordination with the agency.

Consumers are urged to discard the recalled mangoes or return them to the place of purchase to avoid potential health risks. Regulators said anyone who believes they may have become ill after consuming the product should contact a health care provider.

"Panorama Produce is an experienced produce importer committed to a strong focus on food safety. This recall is being conducted voluntarily and in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration," the company said, according to regulators.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and cause more severe illnesses, including arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
