The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide infections.
Tennessee has now been added to the list of affected states.
As of June 7, 2018, 60 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Adelaide have been reported from five states.
On June 8, 2018, Caito Foods, LLC recalled pre-cut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and fruit medley products containing melons produced at the Caito Foods facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. Recalled products were sold in clear, plastic clamshell containers.
The FDA has a list of stores and states where recalled pre-cut melons and fruit salads were sold. The recalled products were sold at many different stores and carry many different labels.
Additional stores and states may be added as FDA receives more information.
Do not eat recalled products. Check your refrigerator and freezer for them and throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
If you don’t remember where you bought pre-cut melon, don’t eat it and throw it away.
Retailers should not sell or serve recalled pre-cut melon products distributed by Caito Foods Distribution, Gordon
Food Service, and SpartanNash Distribution.
