Lab tests found Salmonella on "Majesty" cantaloupes packed by Five Crowns Marketing of Brawley, California.
In response, Five Crowns has issued a recall published by the Food and Drug Administration. The recall applies to melons shipped earlier this month to Alabama, California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
No illnesses have been reported and the company believes the melons would have been sold by now. The Majesty cantaloupe recall applies to cartons packed November 4, 6 and 10 with lot numbers 198 2 or 198 3.
