Reason for recall
G.O. Fresh in Minnesota is voluntarily recalling specific cut items that contain cantaloupe, which has been recalled by DFI Marketing, Inc. due to potential Salmonella contamination.
Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
