The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released that there has been an outbreak of salmonella that is linked to precut melon and has made 117 people sick. The CDC and the Food and Drug Administration say the likely source of the outbreak is Caito Foods LLC in Illinois.
This type of precut melon is sold at Kroger, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, and Amazon.com under the Whole Foods label. The recall includes precut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and precut fruit medley products.
“If you cannot determine if any precut melon you purchased was produced by Caito Foods LLC, don’t eat it and throw it away,” the CDC said.
A full list of the recalled products is available on the FDA website.
