Dole Recalls Honduran Cantaloupes because Salmonella Fear
Westlake Village, Calif. Dole Fresh Fruit Co. announced Friday it would voluntarily recall Honduran cantaloupes because of salmonella outbreak in the United States and Canada, health officials confirmed on Saturday.
The announcement comes just one week after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned that cantaloupes from Agropecuaria Montelibano appeared to be associated with Salmonella Litchfield outbreak in 16 states.
On March 27, two other companies, Chiquita Brands International Inc. and Simply Fresh Fruit Inc., issued recalls of their own, the Associated Press reported.
