Posted on June 28, 2019The U.S. Food and Drug Administration , along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak of 62Uganda illnesses potentially linked to whole, fresh papayas imported from Mexico. These illnesses have been reported in eight states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Florida, and Texas.

The FDA is increasing import screening for whole, fresh papayas and will continue to investigate the cause and source of the outbreak as well as the distribution of products. Preliminary analysis of product import records indicates that the whole, fresh papayas that made people sick in this outbreak were from Mexico. As this outbreak investigation continues, the FDA will work with our Mexican food safety regulatory counterparts to better define this outbreak.
