Cut Fruit Express, Inc. of Minnesota is recalling packaged fruit products containing cantaloupes because they contain California-grown fruit recalled by DFI Marketing. The cantaloupes may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. No illnesses have been reported specific to the Cut Fruit Express Products to date.
There is a link leading to the list of recalled products on the FDA site, but it will not open. For now, do not eat any products from Cut Fruit Express you purchased that contains cantaloupe. We’ll update this news when the FDA corrects the link on their site.
UPDATE: The FDA has fixed the link. You can see a list of all of the recalled products on a PDF. Look at this long list carefully, and discard any of the products you may still have in your home.
The products were sold in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and were distributed through September 5, 2012. For questions, call the company at 651-438-8834.
