GHGA, LLC has recently issued a recall on over 20 fresh-cut fruit products sold at popular grocery stores such as Trader Joe's, Kroger, and Sprouts Farmers Market. The recall was prompted by concerns of possible salmonella contamination in the cantaloupe contained in these products.

The initial announcement of the recall was made by GHGA, LLC on November 29th. Along with cantaloupe chunks, a variety of other fruit trays and fruit medleys that also contained the potentially unsafe fruit were included in the recall. The impacted products were sold with best-by dates ranging from 10/28/23 to 11/4/23.

While these best-by dates have already passed, it is possible that some consumers may still have these products in their possession if they chose to freeze them for later use. For those who have purchased any of the recalled items, it is strongly advised to either discard them or return them to the point of purchase for a refund.

Apart from GHGA, LLC, several other companies have also issued recalls on their fruit products as a result of the ongoing salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupe. These companies include Aldi, Crown Jewel Products, Pacific Trellis Fruit, and Sofia Produce, LLC. Additionally, products sold at Kwik Trip under the brand name Trufresh have also been recalled.

It is crucial for consumers to inspect any fruit trays or mixes they may have that contain cantaloupe to ensure they have not been affected by the recall. No illnesses have been reported in connection with GHGA, LLC's specific recall. However, it is important to take such recalls seriously due to the potential risks associated with salmonella infection.

Salmonella infection can be particularly harmful to individuals with compromised immune systems, elderly individuals, children, and pregnant individuals. Common symptoms of infection include fever, nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, and chills. It is worth noting that other recent food recalls, such as dog food and Enoki mushrooms, have also been associated with salmonella contamination.

Consumers are advised to stay updated on the latest recall information and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being. Regularly checking for product recalls can help prevent potential health risks and ensure a healthier lifestyle.
