FDA advised consumers not to eat recalled fresh cut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and fresh-cut
fruit medley products containing any of these melons. Products were distributed in Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The
products were packaged in clear, plastic clamshell containers under several different brands or labels and
distributed to Costco, Jay C, Kroger, Payless, Owen’s, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Walgreens, Walmart, Whole
Foods/Amazon.
Caito Foods, LLC voluntarily recalled (/Safety/Recalls/ucm610345.htm) fruit salad mixes that contain pre-cut
melons to prevent further distribution of potentially contaminated products.
CDC reports that there were 77 cases in nine states with 36 hospitalizations. Illnesses started on dates ranging
from April 30, 2018, to July 2, 2018. Ill people ranged in age from less than 1 year to 97, with a median age of
67. Sixty-seven percent are female. Out of 70 people with information available, 36 (51%) were hospitalized. No
deaths were reported.
The FDA worked with CDC, along with state partners, to trace back the pre-cut melons to identify the source to
determine the full distribution of pre-cut melons, and to learn more about the potential route of contamination. No
common source was identified.
Additional distribution information was added to identify retail locations organized by state that received
potentially contaminated product. The FDA advised consumers to discard any recalled products purchased at
the listed locations (/downloads/Food/RecallsOutbreaksEmergencies/Outbreaks/UCM610720.pdf).
Consumers who have symptoms of Salmonella infection (https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/index.html)
should contact their health care provider to report their symptoms and receive care. Most people infected with
Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Most infections usually lasts 4 to 7 days and most
people recover without treatment, however some people develop diarrhea so severe that they need to be
hospitalized.
CDC reports as of July 26, 2018, this outbreak appears to be over.

What are the Symptoms of Salmonella Infections?

Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts 4 to
7 days, and most people recover without treatment. Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever,
and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection.

In some people, the diarrhea may be so severe that they need to be hospitalized. In these patients, the Salmonella
infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream and then to other body sites and can cause death
unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.

Who is at Risk?
Children are the most likely to get salmonellosis. The rate of diagnosed infections in children less than five years
old is higher than the rate in all other people. Children younger than five, the elderly, and those people with
weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe infections. It is estimated that approximately 400
persons in the United States die each year with acute salmonellosis. .

What Do Restaurants and Retailers Need To Do?

Retailers should not sell and should discard all recalled products listed above that were supplied by Caito Foods,
LLC. The products were packaged in clear, plastic, clamshell containers and distributed in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. .
Retailers, restaurants, and other food service operators should always practice safe food handling and preparation
measures. It is recommended that they wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot, soapy water before and after
handling food.

Wash and sanitize display cases and refrigerators regularly.

Wash and sanitize cutting boards, surfaces, and utensils used to prepare, serve, or store food.
Wash hands with hot water and soap following the cleaning and sanitation process.
Regular frequent cleaning and sanitizing of food contact surfaces and utensils used in food preparation may help
to minimize the likelihood of cross-contamination.

What Do Consumers Need To Do?

Consumers should not eat any pre-cut melon or fruit salad mixes containing pre-cut melons that were recalled. The
FDA is advising consumers to view the list of retailers and recalled products. If already purchased, consumers are
advised to throw away the recalled pre-cut melons or return to the place of purchase for a refund. The FDA
continues to collect information to determine any additional sources. The FDA will update this posting as soon as
more information becomes available.

Los consumidores siempre deben practicar medidas seguras de manipulación y preparación de alimentos. Se
recomienda que se laven las manos, los utensilios y las superficies con agua caliente y jabón antes y después de
manipular los alimentos.

¿Quién debe ser contactado?

Las personas que piensan que pueden tener síntomas de una infección por Salmonella deben consultar a su
proveedor de atención médica.
