The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to consume some KingFisher brand cantaloupes because they may be contaminated with salmonella.

The affected cantaloupes, produce of the United States, were distributed under the KingFisher brand name in cartons containing six or nine cantaloupes.

The individual cantaloupes may have a sticker with the UPC code 0 33383 11600 6.

The cantaloupes were distributed in Ontario and sold between May 16 and June 2.

Consumers who have purchased whole cantaloupes or in-store products containing pieces of fresh cantaloupe and are not sure of the brand should inquire at the place of purchase to find out whether the stores have received the affected product.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these cantaloupes.
