Rocky Ford cantaloupes are the very best. Not this year, though.

Thanks for the info. My Mom bought 2 last night and my Dad has littered the house with notes warning of the dangers...Of course, he never bothered to write down the brand.

But .... But ..... The greenie-wienies, Vegans and health-nutz always tell us that fresh raw vegatables and fruit is the only safe food and all cooked meat and processed foods are evil.

Always wash your cantelopes before you cut them. They can also transmit E-coli.

Is this another ‘fertilizer’ issue?

I read a year or two ago that Cantaloups were the “dirties” food you could buy. My wife always washes them with soap and water before cutting them up, then lets them dry, and never ever hold the rind while you eat, cut the fruit out of the rind, of course, we are not eating them currently.

FOX just reported 18 deaths linked to the contaminated cantaloupes.
