Salmonella Outbreak Triggers Cantaloupe Recall and CDC Investigation

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to whole and pre-cut cantaloupes, which has caused dozens of cases of infection and hospitalizations in multiple states and Canada. The tainted cantaloupes have been recalled from various retailers, and the CDC is advising people not to consume them. Symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, and individuals should seek medical attention if severe symptoms occur.
