LITTLE CANADA, Minn., Nov. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bix Produce of Little Canada, MN., is issuing a voluntary recall of Grab N’ Go containers of cut cantaloupe and mixed fruit cups due to the potential for Salmonella contamination in the products. These cantaloupe products were derived from cantaloupes that are involved in the recent Malachita cantaloupe recall.
- Consumers, restaurants, retailers, and wholesalers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled cantaloupe or recalled products containing cantaloupe.
- Consumers who may have frozen cantaloupe or cantaloupe products for later use should check their freezers and throw away any recalled products.
- If you cannot tell if your cantaloupe is part of the recall, do not eat or use it. Throw it away.
The affected cantaloupe products were distributed from October 19th through October 20th, 2023, and were sold in the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin at convenience stores, delis, and business cafes. These products are beyond their usable shelf-life and are no longer expected to be in commerce.
