The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FDA believe that the origin of the problem can be traced to Maradol papayas, which have since be contained. FDA officials said that frequent consumers of the fruit should avoid the Maradol brand.

Maradol papayas are green before ripening and then turn yellow, the FDA said in a warning. Consumers should not eat the Caribbean brand without color. If someone has these papayas at home, they should be disposed of immediately, as directed by the FDA. This type of Mexican papaya can be identified because it has a label with red, green and yellow colors.

In the United States, salmonella is the most common food-born illness. The bacteria is found in raw poultry, eggs, beef and sometimes in unwashed fruits and vegetables. It can also be contracted after handling pets, especially reptiles such as snakes, turtles and lizards.
