Pompano Beach, FL - Central American Produce, Inc. of Pompano Beach, FL. voluntarily recalled cantaloupes grown, packed and shipped by an independent third-party grower, Agropecuaria Montelibano of San Lorenzo Valle, Honduras. The product was distributed nationwide and Canada. The cantaloupe grown, packed and shipped from Agropecuaria Montelibano appeared to be associated with a Salmonella Litchfield outbreak in the United States and Canada. In persons with poor health or weakened immune systems, Salmonella can invade the bloodstream and cause life-threatening infections. Symptoms of food-borne Salmonella infection include nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. The cantaloupes were distributed for sale in medium brown cardboard cartons with the brands "Mikes Melons" or "Mayan Pride" all showing "PRODUCE OF HONDURAS" printed on each of the four side panels of the carton.
