Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cantaloupes - CDC

Adults 65 and older, children under 5 years, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to get very sick from Salmonella. In this outbreak, 40 sick people resided in long-term care facilities and 30 children attended childcare centers before they got sick.

CDC advises facilities that care for people at higher risk to not serve cantaloupes that may be contaminated:

• Do not use any recalled whole or pre-cut cantaloupes.
• While the investigation is ongoing, do not serve any cantaloupe that was supplied pre-cut if you don't know whether Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupes were used.
