The Public Health Agency of Canada says one person has died after a salmonella outbreak linked to Malichita and Rudy brand cantaloupes.

Anyone knows if the crops were sold in some kind of kitchen-ready form (e.g. chopped into cubes already)?

I always thought salmonella is mainly an issue with animal-based foods such as meat, eggs, raw milk etc. and that veggies or fruits are only affected indirectly if they are washed with contamined water, fecals etc.

Here's a link to the recall on the CFIA website

Cantaloupe is extra suseptible to this I've been told due to the rough ridges and indents on the rind. Much harder to clean than other melon varieties.
