CDC: Midwest Salmonella Outbreak Caused by Pre-Cut Melon

The CDC has issued a health warning after 60 salmonella cases have been reported across the Midwest.

According to the agency, six of those cases have been reported in Illinois, and likely stem from pre-cut melon that was sold in Walmart and Kroger stores.

A total of 11 cases have been reported in Indiana, and the majority of cases, 32 in all, have been reported in Michigan.

According to officials, if you recently purchased pre-cut melon from Walmart stores in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, or Ohio, you should throw it away immediately. Indiana Kroger, Jay C, and Payless stores are also impacted by the warning.

Whole melon is still safe to eat, according to the CDC.
