Melon Recall

Burch Farms and the FDA have declared a recall of cantaloupe and honeydew melons.

The recall was announced after Listeria monocytogenes was found in a honeydew, at the packing plant in North Carolina.

At least eighteen states received melons from the plant.

All melons will should have a Burch Farms or Cottle Strawberry sticker on them, but some stores remove stickers, so consumers are advised to contact the store where they bought the melons, if they are concerned.

No reports of illness due to the contamination have been reported.
