The Food and Drug Administration and Eagle Product LLC have recalled Kandy Whole Cantaloupe due to salmonella contamination. This bacterium causes a severe gastroenteritis that may progress into a life-threatening systemic infection in the very young, older frail individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.  


The contaminated product was sold in Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Texas and Virginia  during mid-August.


If you happened to buy and freeze this cantaloupe, do not consume it.  For more information and refunds, call Eagle Oroiduct at 1-800-627-8674.
