Frozen Fruit Bars Recalled After Typhoid Fever Outbreak

Fruiti Pops Inc. has recalled its mamey frozen fruit bars because of a possible link to a rare U.S. outbreak of typhoid fever.

The fruit bars were distributed in California, Arizona and Texas since May 2009.

Retail stores, ice cream trucks and vending machines sold the frozen fruit bars, which have the UPC number 763734000097.

Apparently, the frozen fruit bars were made from contaminated mamey pulp that Goya Foods Inc. voluntarily recalled on August 12, after it was linked to a typhoid fever outbreak in California and Nevada.

No illnesses linked to the fruit bars have been reported.
