when I went to the website, I expected to see it. when I did a search on recalls and in cantaloupes, the website did not bring back the response – perhaps I didn’t complete the search – being as you checked, and proved me wrong, why not just remove the my posts.

clarification: I checked the dole website and they did not mention the recall – it is on the cbs880 website and other sites. I was checking to see if they had additional information, more specific geographic areas, perhaps even store listings etc.

charedim is correct.

but for accuracy sake, salmonella is a bacterium, not a virus

Soil can be become contaminated by manure, water, or droppings that contain the salmonella virus. Although only the outside of the fruit/vegetable is dangerous to eat, cutting a cantaloupe can transport the virus to the fruit itself. Infection via cantaloupe is rare, but salmonella DOES show up in produce as well.

I still didn’t understand How can 100% natural cantaloupes spinach etc get infected with salmonella e. coli etc. Can anyone explain how this works?
