Update November 30, 2023
CDC has added a second strain of Salmonella (Oranienburg) to this outbreak investigation after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency found this strain in a sample of Malichita brand cantaloupes. 2 people in the United States are infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella... See More Oranienburg. As of November 28, 117 people infected with one of the outbreak strains of Salmonella have been reported from 34 states (AK, AR, CA KS, MA, MD, MI, MS, PA, RI, WA, IN, NC, NV, NY, OK, OR, VA, CO, GA, NJ, SC, UT, NE, TN, IA, KY, TX, IL, AZ, OH, MO, WI and MN) , 61 have been hospitalized, and 2 deaths have been reported from Minnesota.

- On November 28, Bix Produce recalled pre-cut fruit cups.
- On November 29, GHGA recalled pre-cut cantaloupe products sold at Kroger, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Trader Joe’s.
The CDC suggests that you steer clear of eating fruits that have been recalled and avoid consuming pre-cut cantaloupes if you're uncertain about whether they contain Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupes. Furthermore, facilities like long-term care centers, childcare facilities, hospitals, and other places caring for individuals at a higher risk of severe Salmonella illness should not serve recalled fruits and should refrain from offering pre-cut cantaloupe unless they are certain it doesn't include Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupes.
