Even with these precautions, some level of risk of illness associated with the consumption of cantaloupes remains.
In addition, a large number of cantaloupe-related illnesses also probably occurred among clusters too small to be detected easily.
What steps can consumers attempting to follow a healthy diet take to minimize the risk of illness associated with potentially contaminated cantaloupes?
Because complete outbreak data are not yet available for 2004-2005, it is unknown if these measures have affected the number of cantaloupe-associated illnesses.
Each outbreak identified raw cantaloupe as the vehicle of infection.
We reviewed processes contributing to cantaloupe contamination, conditions affecting survival and growth of bacterial pathogens on melons, and potential methods for sanitization.
Since 1994, outbreaks of infections associated with cantaloupe consumption have been reported with increased frequency.
It is possible that awareness about cantaloupes and other produce as potential vehicles of pathogens has increased among investigators in recent years.
