CFIA issues salmonella warning for cantaloupes in Western Canada, North
OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning people across western and northern Canada not to eat certain brands of cantaloupes because they may be contaminated with salmonella.

The cantaloupes, which were imported from the United States, were sold under the Llano and Nature’s Partner brand names.

They were sold in Safeway and other grocery stores in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Yukon and Northwest Territories in the Nov. 7-18 period.

Safeway stores in Calgary are voluntarily recalling the affected fruit, which can either be whole cantaloupes or pieces.

Salmonella causes symptoms such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea — and can cause serious or deadly infections in the very young or old.

No one has reported illness from eating affected cantaloupes.

Im on the Canadian border and Cantalopes here are FIVE dollars each so not many of us here have eaten them, but thanx for the warning . I always really wash every thing before I cut it as those melons grow right on the manure rich dirt and if have bacteria on the skin which a knive distributes through the slice if it isnt cleaned.
