Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Federal health officials reported several more cases of salmonella infections among four separate outbreaks linked to the consumption of yellow Maradol papayas.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a total of 235 people were sick in at least two dozens states after eating the fruit, causing two deaths.
The CDC has expanded its investigation to various different strains of salmonella in papayas sold by four farms in Mexico.
The largest includes papayas grown at the Carica de Campeche farm in Mexico and sold under the brand names of Caribeña, Cavi and Valery. Among the 210 sickened by papayas from this farm, one died and 67 were hospitalized across 24 states.

Nothing good comes out of Mexico. Nothing.

As much as a lot of the world hates America, we would be wise to roll up the sidewalks and close the gates and be self supporting for a year.
We can grow the best corn on the planet and if nothing else, about a million products can be made with corn.
That and peanuts.
We don't need no steenking foreign food !
If we really, REALLY need something, we'll sell or trade natgas or oil for whatever we want.
WE ARE SO BADASS IT AIN'T FUNNY
WHY HAVEN'T WE ACTED LIKE IT YET ?

Thanks, Blueplum. I only buy ones from Hawaii at the higher end grocery stores. This is why.

pretty scary when a grower has multiple strains of toxic bacteria contaminating their fruit. One is bad enough!

I don’t know if there is truth to it but I have heard that human waste is sometimes used to fertilize farm fields in Mexico.
Sewage lettuce..... anyone??

Wash all fruit before cutting open.
I don’t eat Papayas, but I do have a mango once in a while.
Should also wash avocados, but I don’t.
