Listeria, Cantaloupe, and Who to Call

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

If you have cantaloupe sitting in your house, check the updated FDA Recall Notice here.  If the source of your cantaloupe is in doubt, then it is recommended to discard the cantaloupe without consumption.  After doing so, you may wish to call the farm where the contaminated cantaloupe has been sourced–Jensen Farms in Colorado.  Jensen Farms set up a contact email and phone number to address questions Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.  Here is the contact information published on by ABC news:  email at email hidden; JavaScript is required or phone (800) 267-4561 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Of course, if you or someone you know has suspects having contracted listeria or any other foodborne illness by eating contaminated food, never call the at-fault party directly.  Immediately call your doctor and your local health department to protect your health, and call a qualified personal injury attorney to protect your legal rights.
