Multiple Brands Recall Products as Health Officials Urge Consumers to Discard Contaminated Cantaloupes

Two deaths and 99 confirmed cases of salmonella have been linked to cantaloupes sold in 32 states, with Minnesota reporting the highest number of cases.
Several brands have recalled their cantaloupe products, including whole and pre-cut fruits, as well as fruit mixes and pineapple spears.
Recalled products were sold in stores including ALDI and in states such as California, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Health officials are urging anyone who has recalled cantaloupes to throw them out and wash any surfaces they come in contact with immediately.
Symptoms of salmonella include severe diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. The CDC advises people with severe symptoms to seek medical attention.
