Caito Foods LLC is voluntarily pulling off shelves some of its
fresh-cut melon products over a potential link to a salmonella
outbreak, the company said late Friday.
Federal health officials have linked 93 illnesses to the strain
of salmonella under investigation, the company said. The Centers
for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration are
involved in the probe.
The recall covers fresh-cut watermelon, honeydew melon,
cantaloupe and mixed fruit produced at an Indianapolis site and
distributed in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The items were sold at stores including Kroger, Target, Walmart
and Whole Foods.
Salmonella, a potentially deadly bacteria, is one of the most
common causes of foodborne illnesses in humans.
Caito Foods was sold to SpartanNash Co. (SPTN) in 2017.
