Cantaloupe Recall in 17 States including Tennesee & North Carolina, Sold at Walmart and Whole Foods

October 3, 2011 by iGoBOGO

This article contains information about the 2011 Cantaloupe Recall From Jensen Farms.  If you are looking for information about the August 2012 Cantaloupe Salmonella Outbreak Recallclick here.

UPDATED on 10/3/2011: Jensen Farms has now added Louisiana, Indiana, and Wisconsin to it’s list of recalled Cantaloupes.    According to the press release the companies who received the cantaloupes on 9/14 were notified at that time and did pull the cantaloupes.

Quote from the FDA Site “The company has confirmed that its customers, including those who requested that the product be shipped to Indiana, Louisiana or Wisconsin, received the September 14 recall notice to remove the product from commerce immediately,” said Amy Philpott, spokeswoman for Jensen Farms.

Read the entire press release here.

There is more current information about the recall from the FDA here and from the CDC here.

There’s a recall I wanted to let you know about right now.

According to the FDA, Jensen Farms, of Holly, Colo., voluntarily issued a recall of its cantaloupe Wednesday due to Listeria Contamination that has sickened several people in several states and 2 people have died.

These cantaloupes were sold in several states including Tennessee, Texas, & North Carolina.  Alabama, Georgia, and Florida were NOT listed.

I could not find a listing of the states, but you can see them about halfway through this video on a map (2:3).

Update: Thanks to Jennifer for pointing out the following from the press release – “The whole cantaloupes in question were shipped between July 29th, 2011 and September 10th 2011, and distributed to the following states: IL, WY, TN, UT, TX, CO, MN, KS, NM, NC, MO, NE, OK, AZ, NJ, NY, PA.”

You can read information here about the Cantaloupe Recall and find out how to tell if you have one of the recalled fruits.  According to the article: “The whole cantaloupes have a green and white sticker that reads: Product of USA- Frontera Produce-Colorado Fresh-Rocky Ford-Cantaloupe or a gray, yellow, and green sticker that reads: Jensen Farms-Sweet Rocky Fords.”

    I was feeling a little guilty for allowing the two I bought to go bad, but maybe that was a good thing?

    How am I supposed to know if the Wal Mart one my family ate had that sticker on it? It is not like I kept the inedible parts.
    Which stores sold the tainted ones?
