Caito Foods, LLC Voluntarily Recalls Fresh Cut Melon Products Because of Possible Health Risk
June 08 2018 - 9:45PM
Business Wire
Caito Foods is voluntarily recalling fresh cut
watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe and fresh-cut mixed fruit
containing one of these melons, produced at the Caito Foods
facility in Indianapolis, because these products have the potential
to be contaminated with Salmonella. Use or consumption of products
contaminated with Salmonella may result in serious illness. It can
also produce serious and sometimes fatal infections in young
children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune
systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella can
experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In
rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the
organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe
illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms),
endocarditis and arthritis.
Reports of illnesses linked to these products are under
investigation, and Caito Foods is voluntarily recalling the
products out of an abundance of caution. The company has been
advised by the CDC that it has linked 58 illnesses to the strain of
Salmonella under investigation. Caito Foods has ceased producing
and distributing these products as the company and FDA continue
their investigation.
The products were packaged in clear, plastic clamshell
containers and distributed in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio.
Because it is possible that products shipped between April 17
and June 7, 2018 could still be on store shelves, this recall
extends to both retailers and consumers.
The potential that these products are contaminated with
Salmonella was discovered through analyzing reports made by state
departments of public health. Caito Foods has ceased producing and
distributing these products as the company and FDA continue their
investigation.
Consumers seeking information may call 844-467-7278 Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT and Saturday and Sunday, 6
a.m. to 6 p.m. CT.
Retailers and wholesale customers should check their inventories
and shelves to confirm that none of the products are present or
available for purchase by consumers or in warehouse inventories.
Please contact 844-467-7278 Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 10
p.m. CT and Saturday and Sunday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT to arrange for
disposal or return of the product.
This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration.
The products listed below are included in this recall:
