Meijer grocery stores and Eagle Produce LLC have recalled whole cantaloupe and certain fruit trays and bowls with pre-cut cantaloupe that may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria.
No illnesses were reported as of October 7, but a sample of cantaloupe was positive for Salmonella in routine testing by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The recalled products were sold between September 26 and October 5, 2020 at all Meijer stores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin.
Whole cantaloupe included in the recall might have a sticker labeled “Kandy Brand” from Eagle Produce LLC. However, whole cantaloupes without a sticker should still be considered part of Meijer’s recall.
