Arrests were made, on Thursday, in the case of the 2011 listeria outbreak.
Thirty-three people died as a result of eating tainted cantaloupe.

With the negligence shown, the two owners of the now bankrupt Jensen Farms have been arrested.
Eric and Ryan Jensen are being charged with the misdemeanor offense of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce.
