Outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe melons from Colorado farm has caused at
least 72 illnesses and up to 16 deaths so far
.
.
The Colorado farm where the potentially deadly cantaloupes were traced to,
Jensen Farms in Holly, says it shipped fruit to 25 states, and people with
illnesses have been discovered in several states that were not on the
shipping list.

"If it's not Jensen Farms, it's OK to eat," said Thomas Frieden, director
of the US Centres for Disease Control. "But if you can't confirm it's not
Jensen Farms, then it's best to throw it out."
.
The recalled cantaloupes may be labelled "Colorado Grown," "Distributed by
Frontera Produce," "Jensenfarms.com" or "Sweet Rocky Fords" but not every
recalled cantaloupe is labelled with a sticker, the US Food and Drug
Administration said. The company said it shipped out more than 300,000
cases of cantaloupes that contained five to 15 melons each, meaning the
recall involved 1.5m to 4.5m pieces of fruit.
.
Frieden and FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg said that illnesses are
expected for weeks to come because the incubation period for listeria can
be a month or even longer. Jensen Farms last shipped cantaloupes on 10
September, and the shelf life is about two weeks. "We will see more cases
likely through October," Hamburg said.
.
The FDA said Colorado health officials found listeria in cantaloupes taken
from grocers' and from a victim's home. Matching strains of the disease
were found on equipment and cantaloupe samples at Jensen Farms' packing
facility in Granada, Colorado.

The health officials said this is the first known outbreak of listeria in
cantaloupe. Listeria generally is found in processed meats and
unpasteurised milk and cheese, although there have been a growing number
of outbreaks in produce.
