Whole cantaloupe recalled due to possible salmonella contamination

The Food and Drug Administration says Eagle Produce LLC of Scottsdale, Ariz., initiated a recall of 224 cases of whole cantaloupe after a routine sample testing by the state of Michigan revealed the presence of salmonella in cantaloupe sold at retail.

The products were distributed between Aug. 13-17 in Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Texas and Virginia and were sold in retail supermarkets, according to the announcement.

The recalled cantaloupe features a red and white sticker with “Kandy” and UPC 4050, according to the FDA, which added that Eagle Produce did not recall any other product or lot codes.
