Salmonella Outbreak: Cantaloupe Recall Expands, Two Deaths Reported
Two deaths and at least 99 illnesses have been reported in a salmonella outbreak linked to contaminated cantaloupes and cut fruit. The outbreak has affected 32 states, with 45 hospitalizations. The recall has expanded to include Rudy brand whole cantaloupes and Freshness Guaranteed brand and RaceTrac brand pre-cut cantaloupe. The CDC advises throwing away or returning the recalled products, washing any items or surfaces that have come into contact with the fruit, and businesses not to sell the contaminated fruit. Salmonella infections can cause vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever, and can be particularly severe for vulnerable populations. The CDC will continue to investigate the outbreak.
