A North Carolina company is recalling whole
cantaloupes sold this week in Wal-Mart stores across North and
South Carolina and in South Hill, Va., because they could be
contaminated with salmonella.
L&M Companies Inc. says the cantaloupes all came from the same
small farm where a melon tested positive for the organism this
week. No illnesses from eating the cantaloupes had been reported as
of Friday.
Officials say the cantaloupes were sold at Wal-Mart stores from
Sunday through Friday. Anyone who bought cantaloupes from those
stores during that time should destroy them.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes
fatal infections, especially in young children, the elderly and
those with weakened immune systems.
