The CDC is advising folks in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island to avoid eating whole, fresh papayas from Mexico. They also say not to eat fruit salads or mixes including Mexican papayas.
If you encounter papayas and have doubt about their country of origin, the CDC says to be on the safe side and throw them out. The agency recommends washing and sanitizing places where papayas are stored, including counter tops and refrigerator shelves.
Meanwhile, the US Food and Drug Administration wants importers, suppliers, distributors and other food service providers to halt sales across all states of papayas imported from Mexico.
Those who are infected can develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps between 12 and 72 hours following the initial exposure. Patients usually recover on their own in less than a week, but some people do need to be hospitalized.

Celebrate diversity.
I will not buy produce from Mexico. May not be worse than California, but I don’t care.

They taste like vomit even when they aren’t contaminated.
More specifics on this CA, NY, CT, NJ-specific recall from the FDA:
Four brands of Maradol papayas have been recalled:
Caribeña brand, distributed between July 10 and 19. The Caribeña brand can be identified by a red, green, and yellow sticker.
Cavi brand, distributed to wholesalers in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey from July 16-19 and available to consumers until July 31.The Cavi brand carries a purple, green, and black sticker with the words “cavi MEXICO 4395” in white. Only certain lot codes of Cavi papayas were recalled that were known to come from Carica de Campeche. Boxes provided to wholesalers are stamped with CARICA DE CAMPECHE on the upper left side of the box. Other Cavi papayas, sourced from other farms, are not being recalled.
Valery brand, distributed from July 10-13. Valery Maradol papayas have a red, yellow, and green sticker with “Valery” in yellow letters.
Frutas Selectas brand, distributed to markets in the state of California between August 10 and 29. Frutas Selectas papayas have a red, yellow, and green sticker with Frutas Selectas De Tijuana written in yellow letters on the green part of the sticker.
See? If we’d just let all these illegal invaders into our country no questions asked things like this wouldn’t happen!
Said every democrat everywhere.
Thanks, Ben.
I’m starting to see a pattern here where nations are poisoning Americans with produce/beverages/food.
Too bad this has been the worst planting season in over a generation. Americans used to know how to help & feed themselves.
Poopie on the Paypaya.....it’s the new in-style, “diversity” dish from Mexico. Enjoy!!!!
thankfully it wasn’t those precious avocados
I also try to avoid Mexican produce. Unfortunately, almost all tomatoes available in supermarkets in my area (Southern California) are from Mexico--even those at high-end supermarkets like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Sprout's. Virtually all Roma tomatoes are from Mexico.
Sprout's and Trader Joe's sometimes carry beefsteak and heirloom tomatoes grown locally or imported from Canada. Otherwise, I look for them at farmer's markets.
>>>Cavi brand, distributed to wholesalers in New York<<<
Papaya King must be freaking out.
“Damn Italians :)”
Hey...watch your language!
I won’t buy any produce from Mexico.......no bananas.....salads......berries.....nada
SORRY!!
:)
I’ll go to confession.
Can you book a weekend with a priest cause it’s been a while?
