FDA has issued an import alert

Safety Alert:

Following reports of 50 illnesses in 16 states, FDA has issued an import alert regarding cantaloupe from Agropecuaria Montelibano, a Honduran grower and packer. Based on current information, fruit from this company appears to be associated with a Salmonella outbreak in the United States and Canada. The import alert advises FDA field offices that cantaloupes shipped to the

United States by this company are to be detained. FDA also has contacted importers about this action and is advising

U.S. grocers, food service operators, and produce processors to remove any cantaloupes that come from this company.
