Food Recall: Daniella Brand Mangoes Recall Expanded

Potential Salmonella Contamination Forces Canadian Recall

A food recall has been expanded in Western Canada due to reports of Salmonella bacteria contamination in mangoes imported from Mexico. The mangoes were distributed by a Vancouver-based importer at several retail outlets west of Ontario.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed several illnesses associate with eating the contaminated mangoes. The mangoes in questions have a sticker with the code PLU 4959. The mangoes were sold between July 12 2012 and August 24 2012.

Food contaminated by Salmonella bacteria may not appear to be spoiled, but the bacteria can pose serious health concerns for the elderly, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. Some symptoms of Salmonella poisoning can include high fever, severe headache, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain.

The CFIA says that consumers should contact retailers with concerns over affected mangoes.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
