There are hundreds of products recalled every month; some are FDA directed and some are voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer. Some are for reasons that hardly seem worth the time to fuss with a formal recall. Others are pulled off the market for deadly reasons. The lists of recalls are long and sometimes complicated.

    Canteloupe

    The current list of recalls in canteloupe is quite extensive and covers many brands and locations. If you purchase canteloupe in any form (cut, sliced, whole) you need to check the various announcements. The concern is about salmonella.

    Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of food-borne Salmonella infection include nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Individuals who have recently eaten cantaloupe and experienced any of these symptoms should contact their health care professional.
