M & M brand Number 2 Florida Avocados, packed in 50 lb cardboard boxes

M & M Farm INC. recalled M & M brand Number 2 Florida Avocados, packed in 50 lb cardboard boxes in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Oct 17, 2014.

The recall was triggered by possible Salmonella contamination: "Samples of avocados tested by FDA were positive for Salmonella." Salmonella is one of the most common causes of U.S. foodborne illness, with symptoms that typically appear within six hours to six days of exposure.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Florida." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Miami, FL. The recall covers 30,000 lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 26, 2014), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
