Anyone knows if there is any recall for cantaloupe sold in NJ? I just bought some at Shoprite over the weekend without knowing the current health issues with some of the tainted fruits.

If you phone your local Shop-Rite, they will have this information.

However, recall or no recall, anyone who eats a melon without first washing the outside with soap and water is...foolish.

Whether you want to consider the fact that melons sit on the ground prior to harvest, or whether you want to consider the realities of the lack of restroom facilities and handwashing facilities for the migrant workers who pick the melons, the potential for the presence of e. coli and other disease-producing bacteria on the rind of melons is...significant.

When you slice into a melon, any bacteria on the surface are transferred to the flesh of the melon as the knife passes through it.
