Salmonella Outbreak: Cantaloupe Recall Impacts Dozens

A salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupes has affected 43 people in 15 states, with 17 requiring hospitalization. Multiple brands of cantaloupes, including those with stickers reading "Malichita," "4050," and "Product of Mexico/produit du Mexique," have been recalled. Pre-cut cantaloupe products under the Vinyard brand sold in Oklahoma stores from October 30 to November 10, 2023, have also been recalled. ALDI stores in six states have recalled whole and pre-cut cantaloupes with best-by dates between October 27 and October 31, 2023. The CDC believes the actual number of cases is likely higher, as many people recover without medical care and are not tested for salmonella.
