Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cantaloupes; CDC Expands Recall

Health authorities issued an alert last Friday of a deadly salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupes and pre-cut fruit products. The alert from the CDC said the outbreak has jumped to 99 cases in 32 states. At least two people have died in Minnesota and a total of 45 people have been hospitalized so far, all whom reported eating the contaminated cantaloupe. 

An ongoing recall was expanded to include both whole cantaloupes and pre-cut cantaloupe products and the CDC said investigators were working to identify any other cantaloupe brands that may be contaminated. Read this article from CBS to see what is included in the recall.
