Two people are dead and at least 99 have become ill in a salmonella outbreak tied to contaminated cantaloupes and cut fruit, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.

Salmonella cases have now been reported in 32 states in connection with this outbreak, and 45 people have been hospitalized. The two deaths were reported by health authorities in Minnesota, the CDC said.

The number of brands involved in a related fruit recall has also expanded to include Rudy brand whole cantaloupes and Freshness Guaranteed brand and RaceTrac brand pre-cut cantaloupe, in addition to some Vinyard and Aldi fruit products.

This is just more proof that cantaloupes are the garbage melon.

Team honeydew all the way.

If 9 people are at a table and a honeydew supporter sits down and no one says anything then you have ten honeydew supporters.

But on the real these contamination events seem to happen more with the precut fruits/veggies and premixed salads. Always worries me as the parent of young children.

Edit: they are also recalling whole fruit. Nothing is safe

Lead in kids juice, salmonella in produce yet again. Sure would be nice if the US put more money into regulating food safety.
