What happened

Meijer is recalling Fresh from Meijer cantaloupe chunks in 16oz and 32oz containers sold in six Midwest states because they may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria that can cause illness. The recall affects about 47,000 units of the product.

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed these cantaloupe chunks could potentially be affected, though young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for serious illness from Salmonella.

What to do

If you purchased Fresh from Meijer cantaloupe chunks (check the UPCs listed), do not eat them—throw them away or return them to your Meijer store for a refund. Contact your doctor if you develop symptoms like diarrhea, fever, or abdominal cramps within the next few days.
