发帖数: 11 | 1 Eagle Produce, LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona has announced a limited recall of
certain cantaloupes shipped from Arizona to upstate New York in late May,
due to their potential to be contaminated with salmonella. Although no
illnesses have been reported, Eagle Produce has voluntarily decided to
recall the potentially affected shipments, which were sold at Sam’s Club
between June 2 and June 17, 2011. Sam’s Club has withdrawn all cantaloupes
from the Clubs and sent a notification to Members that bought these melons
from Clubs served by the Johnstown, NY and Pottsville, PA distribution
centers.
Salmonella an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal
infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with
weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often
experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and
abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result
in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe
illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms),
endocarditis and arthritis.
The recall is limited to approximately 1760 cartons of cantaloupes, each
containing 9 melons, for sale in bulk, in brown cardboard cartons each with
the Kandy logo in white with the word 'Cantaloupes' in white lettering on a
red background. The cartons have the lot code 147 count 9 printed on the
side of the carton. Each melon bears a Kandy sticker with the words '
Cantaloupe USA'.
The recall is being implemented as a result of a routine and random test
directed by the USDA and carried out by the New York Department of
Agriculture. The company has ceased the production and distribution of the
product in question.
Consumers who believe that they are in possession of uneaten cantaloupes
affected by this recall may contact Eagle Produce at (480) 323-6177 Monday
through Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM MST (Arizona time).
