The FDA has expanded a cantaloupe recall after the number of salmonella infections doubled in a week. The recall now includes three more brands of whole and pre-cut cantaloupes. Health officials advise consumers to throw away the recalled fruits and wash surfaces that came into contact with them.
The FDA and CDC are investigating an ongoing outbreak of salmonella linked to cantaloupe products, with at least 43 people sick across 15 states and 17 hospitalized. Three brands have recalled fresh cantaloupe and pineapple products due to possible salmonella contamination. Consumers are advised not to eat, sell, or serve recalled cantaloupe, and to check their freezers for any frozen recalled products. Symptoms of salmonella infection include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider if they experience symptoms after consuming recalled cantaloupe.
