Cantaloupe from Honduras brought Salmonella outbreak in the US and Canada
The FDA advises that U.S. grocers, food service operators and produce processors remove from their stock any cantaloupes grown packed and shipped from this country.
Based on current information, the
cantaloupe grown, packed and shipped from Agropecuaria Montelibano
appears to be associated with a Salmonella Litchfield outbreak in the
United States and Canada.
The FDA is also advises consumers who
have recently bought cantaloupes to check with the place of purchase
to determine if the fruit came from this specific grower and packer.
There are other firms that are involved
in this recall using other labels of the same grower, including Mikes
Melons. The FDA is taking this preventive measure while the agency
continues to investigate this outbreak in cooperation with the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state partners.
