He happens to be the one who loves mangoes and he almost purchased some, too. They were on sale, although I think these mangoes were from a different company. Since the cantaloupe scare, I don't even go near them anymore. It's never been a favorite fruit of mine, so it's no big deal.

Here, this is an article that might interest you: How Do Tomatoes Get Salmonella? From poop to produce. Manure, runoff, and wild animals. Livestock animals, especially when kept in large numbers in confined spaces, can contract salmonella and carry the bug without showing any symptoms at all. Infected cows, pigs, and chickens shed the bacteria in their waste, which is sometimes used to fertilize nearby fields. The heat generated when manure is composted kills off most, but not all, disease-causing bacteria. Advertisement Contaminated water supplies can also put salmonella on your tomatoes. Runoff from livestock pastures, or from leaky or overtopped waste lagoons at industrial farming sites, can dirty streams, groundwater, and other bodies of water farmers draw on for irrigation. According to an FDA investigation, that was the likely cause of a 2002 salmonella outbreak in imported Mexican cantaloupes.
