If you buy a whole one and prep it at home yourself, you're way less likely to be affected by these contaminations. Foods prepared at the grocer is always a risk as those processing it are pressured to prioritize speed and efficiency over quality. Shortcuts are taken behind closed doors more often than you may be comfortable with. Keep this in mind when shopping for all foods which are not in their whole form or factory sealed.
You got misleading by front page. The contamination happened on whole fruit not when cut in.
This recall is for whole fruit! Cantaloupe / melons more generally can retain harmful microbes in their rind, which are then transferred throughout the fruit when cut, this can occur (even with washed fruit, because of the porous nature of the rinds) at home or in a processing centre.
@@msjones6936 I don't recall them specifying. If they did I must have missed it through the very round about way of presenting the information.

How true, sometimes preparing food right by a garbage can, et
Get treated? If you live in Canada, you know it's almost impossible to see a doctor within a short period of time. By the time you get an appointment either the illness has passed or you are dead
This is not the first time contaminated Cantaloupe became a problem in Canada. The public protection agency is not very public when putting out information. 5 people died isn't that enough for them to become more pro active to the public and not the corporations?
Welcome to corporate lobbying.
Go Lacto vegetarian stay safe
it happens everywhere. US, France, Japan, China. Because this can happen in every prossce of transportation. Before and after import. Even before distribution.
Corporate lobbying has been a thing since 2006 or 2009, I don't remember when but they basically made it so lobbying by corporate money is valid and legal. A law that made lobbying illegal was repealed basically.
they have a head office fyi
Public health not saying much is a big problem in my eyes.Starting to get real tired of tax funded institutions not working in the public's best interests.
Contaminations are bound to happen, especially with produce and vegetables, its not the first time and it wont be the last. We have checks and balances in place to check for these things; but the problem is when things are recalled it takes on average 3 weeks to get the stuff off the shelves... and unless every single product thats bad is recalled immediately.... bad things happen.
Our food protection services are underfunded and overworked as well, quality would be easier assured if they had more workers.
Cantaloupe is very susceptible to salmonella - I am now avoiding it.
Buying it whole and washing it makes more sense. ALL pre-prepared foods are "susceptible".
Agree but consider the following: Melons are grown close to the ground, and it's possible that cantaloupes are exposed to bacteria from soil, animals, or the water used for irrigation.3
Dobhal S, Zhang G, Gautam D, Fletcher J, Ma LM. Uneven distribution of microorganisms on the surface of field-grown cantaloupes. Food Control. 2015;47:185-189. doi:10.1016/j.foodcont.2014.07.002
"The ‘netted’ surface of the cantaloupe can facilitate microbes attaching to the surface, and can make it more difficult to remove microbes once they are present,
Someone took a **** and didn’t wash
NEVER BUY ANYTHING THAT IS CUT. OMG. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING LIKE THAT
Isnt it sad when vegetables/produce have the highest risk of a contamination source available in your grocery store?
Just another reason to not eat cantaloupe
why don't they also tell us which grocery chains sold this brand?
I pre-cut my cantaloupe and throw away the skin. I had to dig through my bin to find cantaloupe I bought from Costco is Delmonte...
"why don't they also tell us"
They told you which brands were infected. It doesn't matter which stores stocked those brands. And this is about pre-cut and packaged cantaloupe. If you buy a cantaloupe fresh it's going to be fine so it doesn't matter what it says on the rind.
@@Blackmark52 You should re-watch/read the news, recall is on whole cantaloupe, and 2nd recall is on packaged pre-cut cantaloupe made from those brands. Which info is more easier for consumer to identify if they have bad cantaloupe? Brand name or where they bought? Do you know top of your head which brand of fruit you bought from your grocery store? Or do you know which fruit and where you bought it from? which is more easier for you to remember?
@@andg5194 "which info is more easier"
Which is more important? It's the brand that's contaminated. If two stores have more than one brand it doesn't matter which store you use. And even if they did have a recall of whole cantaloupe, so what? That's government being the government. It doesn't make fresh cantaloupes internally contaminated.
@@Blackmark52 if they say these brands are affected and they were sold at Superstore or Walmart, I don't even need to check my fridge because I never bought any Cantaloupes from there. Why is this even an argument?
@@andg5194 fella, you are taking this way too seriously. cantaloupes don't bite and this panic is long over. For next time just remember any precut pre-packaged fruit is at more risk than intact fruit.
From living along the border in Texas its not surprising what so ever that food like cantalope contains salmonella as most of the farm fields are along the Rio Grande river and irrigatted from that river which has raw sewage from the Mexican side dumped and pumped into it from every town and city along its banks so technically the nice fresh veggies are watered with human and animal waste
Stop blaming Mexico, blame how you prepare your food.
but this occured on the whole fruit, it wasnt chopped?@@tamalebutt
Yes. I remember being taught as a child to wash well after handling cantaloupe because the skin can contain salmonella.
Sadly here in BC you can buy biosolid ( human waste ) soil for your garden .. people love it ! I think it's cause for food recalls and super bugs. . I wouldn't use it if someone paid me
no homes, no joobs, no food, no Doctors, welcome to Canada, where the last of us rome
well some how I haven't' heard of any outbreaks of cantaloupe salmonella here in USA. Our media is just amazing, what can I say.
5 deaths in a country of nearly 40 millions is hardly a epidemic. Far less worthy of a country of your size.
I question the wisdom behind this news story. Not enough affected to warrant a fear mongering story.
Wash with Vinegar!! Or salt and warm water!
I was doing grocery shopping today and saw cantaloupe 2lbs for $1.00 , glad i kept walking
Yea and millions dead in wars going on today
Never buy cut fruits guys. I used to buy them too. Got a bad stomach ache once. Never again!
That could be because the majority of the cut fruits in our grocery stores are 'unsold' products that were overpriced, then left on the shelves, then are starting to expire so they try to cut them up to hide their 'lack of quality'.
Honestly though I'm more worried about the massive production chains. Certain food production chains and restaurants buy pre-cut foods for convenience. If the production sites are contaminating these products with lesser quality goods (meaning they're now buying the rotting contaminated unconsumable food and trying to sell it to us with some window dressing) to cut costs down the production chain then we're going to start having a problem....people will lose faith, then the entire industry dies because nobody will want to trust or consume anything from it.
You know this sounds like something that would be acceptable in a third world country. Not here.
@@keikairin2038 Exactly. This is how you become 2nd world, eventually 3rd.🥉 While some 3rd worlders rise up the ladder.
@@sr-3734tqp
Most likely this is a purposeful attack on the supply chain. All these jealous failing companies wanting to steal business...from a more successful one.
Well greed or jealousy. Its one or the other.
Don’t eat food processed in any way. Almost zero chance of infection.
McDs is keeping quiet, considering the offering in their Happy Meals. Mine swapped out my cantaloupe pieces with fries, glad they did.
Fruit has a lot of sugar and it is a good medium for bacteria
Isn't testing done on produce to check for these types of contamination prior to distribution?
There’s an awesome documentary on Netflix on how the food supply chain is tainted.
@@stonefacedmedusa5542 Thanks for this info. I'll look for it.
I bought some cantaloupe and honeydew slices about a month ago and they were spoiled in 2 days even though it had 1 week until it expired. I thought the taste was feim what i ate previously but it actually was spoiled! It was nasty😢 idk if its related but i was mad dissapointed.
Food spoilage and bacterial contamination are not the same thing. So no.
Very strange
Luckily we can’t afford fruit in Toronto hence the low numbers!
Dirty knives or equipments at the food processing plants or kitchens. Crossed contamination between poultry and fruits.
Salmonella outbreak, WTF Canada???
@LJay19 Huh? We can and should control the quality of food that comes to our market
Health care provider?????? Where?? Ever try to see a doctor in Canada???? Health care is free.....hahahahah...
... THAT'S IT ! ... I'm not eating ANYTHING unless it's cooked to a Char ! ...
They say burnt food is dangerous also look it up
@@MissX905 ... But it's chewy ! ... and it doesn't have salmonella ... or ANYTHING alive ... and it's good after A LOT of Scotch ... Try it, you'll like it !
Nobody have a clue how this happened.
Why would you have "Dr." Bogoch's opinion after how consistently wrong he was about every aspect of the pandemic. What has he done to earn back his integrity?
I am sure he has a medical degree and you don’t.
Health Canada should be going after all stores to stop selling them. Stores don't believe in recalls
Good old Health Canada on top of things, as usual. Tam got a raise! More Canadians have died on her watch than at any time since WW II.
Public Health Agency not saying or knowing much of anything... remind us why we pay these types?
It's important to recognize that public health agencies play a crucial role in safeguarding the well-being of the population. While it may seem frustrating when information appears limited or unclear, these agencies often operate in complex and rapidly evolving situations. Their work involves extensive research, analysis, and coordination to protect public health. Criticizing them solely for a perceived lack of information overlooks the challenges they face and the valuable contributions they make to community health and safety.
who needs those public health agencies anyway? We could save so much money by just relying on random Facebook posts and conspiracy theories for our health information. Who needs those so-called "experts" and their years of education and experience? Karen from the neighborhood knows more about viruses and vaccines than anyone with a medical degree.
McDonald’s is selling cantaloupe now instead of apples, wonder if there’s a link considering how McDonald’s restaurants are all over North America and the world
Is it the skin or the water inside that contains the salmonella? You say scrub the cantaloupe in another report, but that seems strange no?
But is it touching the skin then touching your lips that transmits or ingesting the fruit?
Before you know it. There won't be any food left.
plastic, fruit, storage, choices to eat
People that handle food for other people and state of heat used and so on all health checks SAFETY involved should be wearing SPACE clothing like in laboratories or in tech labs all disinfection levels in checked with checked at 100% plus 10 % above to handle it out to people to eat it.
In melon? This is strange.
It is incredibly common, the rinds can hold onto harmful microbes which are transfered throughout the fruit when cut. We see multiple cantaloupe recalls/contamination each year.
They apply too fresh manure to fields that is full of pathogens, ecoli too. If it’s not washed before it’s cut, the knife drags the contamination through the fruit
@@msjones6936 I really didn’t know this.
Like Walkerton.
Canada and Pakistan going same path 😅
Literally. Canada's government works exactly like Pakistan. The same corruption. Better off going back to Pakistan.
My children have to wait 8 days for a doctor's appointment other than going to emerg at hospital, this country is now a 3rd world country, I'm not a proud Canadian
Heaven forfent we should know where the poisonous cantaloupe was!
It wiped out the dinosaur's...and your not that tuff.
That’s not answering the question. Is the same salmonella on the outside or inside? Does washing outside help
129 cases of salmonella? how many millions of cantaloupe in the country right now?
Which farm ???
Are you fr
Isn’t there a expiration. One has to think this is avoidable
Stop eating cantaloupe! How hard is that....
products of mexico
In case you didn't know... fruits don't grow during cold winter weather in Canada...
Just look at food bars, the salad bar, how those fruits have you questioning 'How old is that?' All dried up looking.
I ate it.
No issues
not. yet
Sewage sprayed on the fields as fertilizer?
Yahi’s behind this
I always wash cantaloupe with soap using a hard brush
They calling them canatrots now...😳😅
Where's the inspectors, usually they have this solved as to it's origin, are they on another mission, we don't know about? Testing the waters, that alone is a contaminant anymore because of all that gets dumped into our water supply.
how do you get chicken stains on melons lmao
I thought salmonella was poultry borne exclusively. Hearing it can containment fruit and vegetable is really odd.
You are more likely to get it from raw veg. Bean sprouts carry it so often you should really not bother eating them.
Salmonella can be spread in the wash water, agricultural water, both of which can be "grey" - re-directed waste water from another facility.

Ban Cantaloupe Trudeau
Omg. Wtf
🙏 My God how can it be getting worse I thought they pulled them a week ago
Canada is 3rd world country. I’m from Canada.
Are they biological grown???
100 million $ lawsuit comin
Makes me wonder if farmers are using contaminated manure mixed into the ground to help grow the fruits & vegetables, can this be absorbed into the products ? The guy did say something about bad fecal.
I think it’s caused by runoff from nearby farms sharing irrigation channels or dried fecal matter on farms blowing in the wind.
It's more like 5000 dead
Do you think freeze drying would make them safe? Then just rehydrate!😳 If you dare...
Blaming ancinobactar on cantaloupe. Pure hogwash😂 .
Oh no :(( I love my cantaloupe
That's it for me cantaloupes. From now on it's can't-aloupe
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Meal on (a take on melon), now meal off (meloff). Or 'pass the melon' right into the garbage can! Those poor naive people who don't watch the news know nothing of what's at risk to eat their melon melon
it was yahiamice

There has to be a drawback to something that is easy to prepare and gives you quite a bit in it's fruit supply!
5? omg we better hurry up and shut down the grocery stores! it's a pandemic!!
Oh, that's why that my uncle's restaurant to do well. Sam 'n' Ella's Diner.

Trumpaloupe!
People in the streets I saw were bending to their knees standing there like mannequins sometimes falling over 😮most likely from the food they ate at the store prepped manufactured manure infused with stuff only earth can process and handle.

Whelp im allergic to them so im safe.
Why would people still have cantaloupe from 2 months ago 🫣
I dont eat fruit or vegetables thank God
Why not? Fruit are good for you. Your body needs fruit and vegetables
