A company called Melon Acres, which is located in Oaktown, Ind., recently recalled cantaloupes that it had shipped to three states in the Midwest due to Salmonella contamination. The bad, or potentially bad, melons made their way on August 13-14 to the Aldi's store in Greenwood Indiana, and Meijer stores in Lansing and Newport Michigan and Tipp City Ohio. The company's recall notice indicates that nobody has yet become sickened by the contaminated melons. The recall was prompted by FDA testing, which generated a positive result for Salmonella in the affected lots.

The affected melons were identified as 41 MG 10, bin numbers 4753-4980; the release didn't say how many bins were included in the recall. One melon in a sample of 20 tested positive for salmonella, according to the company's release.
