Dole Fresh Fruit Co. will voluntarily recall Honduran cantaloupes after reports of a salmonella outbreak in the United States and Canada, the company announced.

The cantaloupes were distributed for sale throughout the U.S. and parts of Canada in cartons with the brand "Dole" and "PRODUCT OF HONDURAS" printed on each side panel, Dole spokesman William Goldfield said. They were packed and shipped by an independent third-party grower, Agropecuaria Montelibano of San Lorenzo Valle, Honduras.

The Food and Drug Administration says consumers who recently bought cantaloupes should check with the place of purchase to determine if the fruit came from this specific grower and packer. If so, consumers should throw away the cantaloupes.

Consumers with questions can go to the FDA Website or call the Dole Consumer Center at (800) 232-8888.
