Salmonella in cantaloupe linked to fruit recalls and illness
Health officials warn that Salmonella linked to cantaloupes has caused illness across the United States and Canada. The outbreak has killed five in Canada and sickened 129 in the U.S. with many affected being seniors or young children. Researchers say contamination can occur in soil animals or irrigation water and may be internalized in melons, making washing ineffective. Heat kills the bacteria but melons are rarely cooked.
