More on that nationwide cantaloupe recall

cantaloupeSarah told you last week about the nationwide recall of cantaloupe. Now it looks like it's even bigger than first announced.

Both Dole and Chiquita have issued voluntary recalls on some of their cantaloupe as well. Dole's recall involved cantaloupe packed in cardboard containers that say "Dole" and "Product of Honduras." The Chiquita boxes say "Mike's Melons," "Mayan Pride," and "Chiquita."

Of course, I'm not sure if all supermarkets display fruit in their original packaging, so it's probably best to ask the store about the cantaloupes they have for sale.

But when they had the spinach recall, they said washing and cooking would not be enough, just toss it out! I havent bought bagged veggies since! ITs SAD...
