US: Recall linked to salmonella expanded
A cantaloupe recall was expanded on Monday due to possible salmonella contamination. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment warned consumers to throw out or return any cantaloupes they may have bought that were grown, packed and shipped by, Agropecuaria Montelibano of San Lorenzo Valle, Honduras. The cantaloupes have been linked to an outbreak of salmonella in both the U.S. and in Canada.
One confirmed illness in Colorado has been associated with the distribution of the cantaloupes in early March, according to the Department of Health.
The recalled fruit may have been sold in several different ways:
- Simply Fresh Fruit brand food service Fruit mix in Syrup. Products dated sell by 4-18-08 or earlier; food service Cantaloupe Chunks in Syrup, products dated sell by 4-8-08 or earlier; and retail and club store Simply Fresh, Fresh Cut Fruit Brand containing cantaloupe dated sell by 3-29-08 or earlier. Food service distributors that sell their own brand have been notified and are recalling the products involved. Food service products are packed in plastic pails or jars; retail products are packed in plastic trays.
- Dole Fresh Fruit Company - Honduran cantaloupes. The cantaloupes were distributed in cardboard cartons with the brand "Dole" and "PRODUCE OF HONDURAS" printed on each of the side panels of the carton.
- Bounty Fresh, LLC - Cantaloupes are packed three melons in a sleeve under the brand name Chestnut Hill Farms, and one melon per sleeve under the brand name Perfect Melon. Individual melons are not labeled, but sleeves contain tags that say either Perfect Melon or Chestnut Hill Farms. Whole cantaloupes were sold in boxes marked with Cantaloupe, Chestnut Hill Farms (three count) or Perfect Melon (one count), PRODUCE OF HONDURAS, Grown, Packed and Shipped by Agropecuaria Montelibano, San Lorenzo, Valle, Honduras. All boxes also contain the Chestnut Hill Farms logo.
- Chiquita Brands, International, Inc. and Central American Produce - Cantaloupes were distributed in cardboard cartons with the brands "Mike's Melons," "Mayan Pride" and "Chiquita" all showing "PRODUCE OF HONDURAS" printed on each of the side panels of the carton. The address of the shipper that appears on one end panel of the carton says, Grown, Packed and Shipped by Agropecuaria Montelibano, San Lorenzo, Valle, Honduras.
Other distributors conducting recalls, although Colorado distribution was not verified, include T.M. Kovacevich Inc., Tropifresh Inc., Spokane Produce Inc., and Charlies Produce.
