Meijer recalls cantaloupe over salmonella concerns

The recall applies to whole cantaloupes and select cut fruit trays and bowls

Meijer has issued a multi-state recall for whole cantaloupe and select cut cantaloupe fruit trays and bowls over concerns that the products may be contaminated with salmonella. The products were sold between Sept. 26 and Oct. 5 at Meijer stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin, according to a recall notice posted on the FDA’s website.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. In otherwise healthy individuals, salmonella may cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Rare instances of arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis have also been recorded, according to the FDA.

While no illnesses have been linked to the recall, customers are urged to throw away purchased products or return it to the nearest Meijer store for a refund. The impacted whole cantaloupe products can be identified through a sticker labeled Kandy Brand from Eagle Produce, LLC.
