Oh crap!!! I love cantaloupe.
Here is the reader's digest version of Dot's link.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an import alert regarding entry of cantaloupe from Agropecuaria Montelibano, a Honduran grower and packer, because, based on current information, fruit from this company appears to be associated with a Salmonella Litchfield outbreak in the United States and Canada. The import alert advises FDA field offices that all cantaloupes shipped to the United States by this company are to be detained.

Oh my goodness~every week there is some food source recalled because of contamination. Is anything we eat really safe? And we have to wonder everytime we give our birds something anymore. ugh.
