Liberty Fruit Co Inc is recalling approximately 1,365 units of Carol's Cuts fresh-cut fruit products, including Hawaiian Blend, Fruit Trays, Fruit Medleys, and Cantaloupe Chunks, because the cantaloupe tested positive for Salmonella. These products were sold in various sizes (8 oz to 5 lbs) and distributed to retail stores, military grocery stores, schools, and food service providers in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Consumers who have purchased these products should check their 'Best If Used By' dates, which range from March 21, 2022, to March 27, 2022, and return them for a full refund.
The cantaloupe used in these fruit blends tested positive for Salmonella, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms often include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Full refund at place of purchase.
