Tropicale Foods, based in Modesto, CA, has issued a voluntary recall of 5,224 units of Helados Mexico Mini Cream Variety Pack with a "Best By" date of "MO Best By 10/11/2025" due to potential Salmonella contamination in the mango bars within the variety pack.

The best-by date can be found at the bottom of the retail box. As of the recall notice, there have been no confirmed illnesses reported.
