Healthy individuals might still experience symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. While most cases resolve without major complications, in rare situations, the infection can enter the bloodstream, leading to severe conditions like arterial infections, endocarditis, or arthritis.

The affected cantaloupes, labeled under the brand "Kandy," were sold between August 13th and 17th in several states, including Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia.

These cantaloupes can be identified by a red and white sticker that reads "KANDY" along with the UPC code 4050 and lot code 846468. No other products or lot codes are included in this recall.

Fortunately, no illnesses have been reported as of now. The contamination was discovered during routine testing conducted by the State of Michigan, leading to the recall as a precautionary measure.

Consumers who purchased these cantaloupes are urged to discard them immediately. If you have any concerns or questions, you can reach out to Eagle Produce at 1-800-627-8674 during their regular business hours.

Additionally, if you or someone in your household experiences symptoms after consuming the product, contact a healthcare professional for advice. It’s always better to be cautious when dealing with potential foodborne illnesses like this one.
