Cantaloupes sold in grocery stores in five states are being recalled due to potential salmonella contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Eagle Produce LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona initiated a recall of 224 cases of whole cantaloupe, the FDA posted online Friday.
The recall comes on the heels of a salmonella outbreak last year linked to cantaloupe that left at least a half dozen people dead and sickened hundreds across the U.S and Canada, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously reported.
The latest recall is the result of routine sample testing conducted by state health officials in Michigan who found Salmonella in some cantaloupe sold at various retail distributors.
As of late last week, no illness connected to the recall had been reported to the FDA.
Here's what to know about the cantaloupe recall:
Powerless and terrified:She ate a poppy seed salad just before giving birth. Then they took her baby.
What cantaloupe products are affected?
The FDA said cantaloupe with the brand name "Kandy" distributed in five states between Aug. 13-17 is included in the recall.
The product has a UPC label of 4050 on a red, black and white sticker and a lot code of 846468.
What states are affected by cantaloupe recall?
Whole cantaloupes sold in the following states are being recalled:
- Michigan
- Missouri
- Ohio
- Texas
- Virginia
What is salmonella?
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and fatal infections in children, the elderly, and other people with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever 12- 72 hours after eating a contaminated product.
Most people recover without treatment, but in rare circumstances the infection can require hospitalization, the health agency said. Pregnant women are also at higher risk of developing an infection from it and should seek medical attention if symptoms arise.
What should you do with recalled cantaloupe?
Customers who have purchased recalled cantaloupe should not eat it and throw it out.
People should also follow FDA’s safe handling and cleaning advice and use "vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing surfaces and containers" that potentially came in contact with the affected fruit to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Consumers with concerns about an illness from consuming the product should contact a health care provider.
For more information, consumers can call Eagle Produce at 1-800-627-8674.
