Dole Fresh Fruit Company is recalling Cantaloupes due to a discovered Salmonella contamination. There have been no reported illnesses due to the contamination.

The Dole Fresh Fruit Co. recalled several thousand cartons of imported cantaloupes Friday after the fruit tested positive for salmonella.

The recall, which covers the Eastern United States and the Canadian province of Quebec, is the second sparked by salmonella fears this week.

It is nice to see this was caught before anyone got sick. A surprising stat in the article is that 40,000 people in the US are sickened by Salmonella each year, 600 of which die. Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever, dehydration, abdominal pain and vomiting.
