Cantaloupe

Found in some samples or products

These come from where it was grown, how it was processed or cooked, or what it was made into. They are not about the ingredient itself, so the signal does not count them.

• Food poisoning from melon³

  Cantaloupe was linked to outbreaks that sickened 1,434 people between 1984 and 2002.

• Food poisoning from fruit⁴

  In an outbreak, people who got sick were 23 times more likely to have eaten cantaloupe.

• Food poisoning outbreak⁵

  In 2011, a US listeriosis outbreak linked to cantaloupe sickened 146 people and killed 30.

The signal at the top counts the findings in people and in animal and lab studies. A concern in studies of people outranks animal and lab studies, and “No concerns” needs at least one finding in people. When most findings in people point one way, the page leans that way (“Mostly”), and every finding is still shown. Findings whose study type is not stated are shown but not counted.
