The chain recall has begun as numerous firms issue recalls for products that contain the mangoes that were linked to the Salmonella outbreak (http://pennstatefoodsafety.blogspot.com/2012/08/mangoes-linked-to-73-cases-of.html.)

It is interesting to see the number of companies recalling product as well as the number of brands impacted.  It is also easy to see why consumers, such as me, will just avoid eating mangoes or products containing mangoes.
