KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Several Kansas City-area Costcos sold pre-cut melon linked to a multi-state Salmonella outbreak.
On June 8, 2018, Caito Foods recalled pre-cut watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and fruit medley products containing melons produced at the Caito Foods facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. Recalled products were sold in clear, plastic clamshell containers.
A list published by the FDA shows those products were sold at two local Costco locations:
- 1600 NW 88th St. North Kansas City, MO
- 241 E. Linwood Blvd. Kansas City, MO
- 19040 E Valley View Parkway, Independence, MO
- 9350 Marshal Dr. Lenexa, KS
- 12221 Blue Valley Parkway Overland Park, KS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises that those products be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase for a refund.
The CDC is also advising that retailers do not sell pre-cut melon distributed by Caito Foods Distribution, Gordon Food Service and SpartanNash Distribution.
