Listeria outbreak in cantaloupes in the US....

[Chiclet2012]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this, but there is a listeria outbreak in cantaloupes from a certain farm in Colorado that has shipped all over the country. A few people have already gotten sick. I would avoid cantaloupes for a few weeks! There is probably more risk in these than in cold cuts and all the other supposed risky foods.

this does not surprise me cantaloupes are one of the nastiest dirtiest fruits on the market, or so they say anyway!!

Ugh, I know. I had just bought and eaten a cantaloupe when I saw this. Supposedly none of the melons were sent to my state but I feel like we never get the full story with things like this. I've been trying hard to forget about it!
