Eagle Produce of Scottsdale, Arizona is cooperating with the FDA following their voluntary recall on Sept. 27. Customers who may have purchased the cantaloupe are urged not to consume them.
According to the FDA, salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people or those with weakened immune systems.
"Healthy people may experience fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and abdominal pain," the administration said.
No illnesses have been reported as of Sept. 27.
