The cantaloupes sold between Oct. 16 and Oct. 23 were packaged in cardboard containers with the 'Malichita' label


Sofia Produce, which operates under the name Trufresh, is recalling all sizes of fresh cantaloupes sold to several U.S. states during one week in October after concerns of potential salmonella contamination surfaced.

The Arizona-based company distributed the cantaloupes directly to 10 states and Canada through various retailers, but the fruits may have reached stores in other states as well, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The cantaloupes were sold between Oct. 16 and Oct. 23 and were packaged in cardboard containers with the "Malichita" label.

The FDA said the cantaloupes also have stickers with individual price look-up (PLU) codes. The top half of the sticker is white and has "Malichita" written in black, while the bottom half is black with the number 4050 in white. The number is also next to the words '"Product of Mexico/produit du Mexique."




Problem: 3rd World Produce, picked by 4th world people with 5th world hygeine.

If you washed the outside of the Cantalope doesn't that destroy the Salmonella.?
Can the inside have salmonella?
