| Show LIFESTYLE The Salt Lake Tribune Washed refrigerated melons aren't a risk An isolated outbreak of salmonella food poisoning linked to cantaloupes has caused undue concern over this plentiful summer crop Consumers shouldn't be overly concerned but it does bring home the point that you can get salmonella from foods other than eggs milk and meat However the chance is slight and the occurrence is isolated According to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) press release on the situation there have been only five recorded salmonella outbreaks related to melons over the last 40 years What likely happened was that the melon was contaminated when it was sliced said Charlotte Brennand food scientist in the Utah State University College of Family Life This could either have come from dirty utensils or from the skin of the melon Brennand also said the melon was probably left unrefrigerated for a long time after it was sliced This allowed the salmonella that was present to multiply to a dangerous level She said if the contamination was from the skin of the melon it could have come from contaminated irrigation water or soil Brennand said this incident should not scare consumers away from melons but it should remind them to follow basic sanitation procedures: Wash the melon before you Wednesday C5 September 11 1991 Eating taco a problem?
