The Food and Drug Administration says Wholesale Produce Supply of Minneapolis, Minn., has recalled its fresh-cut and processed cantaloupe due to a potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
Wholesale Produce Supply sold its fresh-cut cantaloupe to distributors in Nebraska, North Dakota and Wisconsin, who may have distributed into other states under the “Harvest Cuts” and “Fresh & Finest” brand at traditional grocery locations, according to the FDA. The company packaged the fresh-cut cantaloupe in traditional plastic clamshell containers under the “Harvest Cuts” and “Fresh & Finest” label in both cantaloupe-only products, as well as mixed containers that include other fresh cut-fruits.
The FDA says no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company recalled its products following a routine sampling program, which revealed that the finished products potentially contained bacteria, according to the agency. The FDA says Wholesale Produce Supply has suspended production and distribution of the affected lots as the company continues its investigation into the cause of the contamination.
