Voluntary recall of cantaloupe due to listeria outbreak

Just an FYI, I just heard this on the news. Its from Jensens farms in Colorado but I saw long island highlighted on the map.

Re: Voluntary recall of cantaloupe due to listeria outbreak

I heard this on the news yesterday and kinda freaked out a little. I get cantaloupe from our employee cafeteria everyday.

I just left a message for the manager of the cafeteria. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

They didn't specify if it was precut. I called stop and shop and they said they don't get there's from Jensens. Not sure if all the stores are the same though. I go to the one in bay shore.

Actually, cantaloupe is on the "unsafe" list due to salmonella.
