At least 43 people in the U.S. and nine in Canada have been infected with an outbreak strain of salmonella linked to cantaloupes, officials say.
For the Save on Foods and Urban Fare products, the best before dates are up to and including Nov. 9.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said interviews with sick people and laboratory findings showed that cantaloupes are behind this outbreak.
The number of people sickened in the outbreak is likely much higher than those reported, CDC said.
It typically takes three to four weeks to determine whether a sick person is part of an outbreak.
Most people infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps within six hours to six days after consuming food contaminated with the bacteria.
