The state department of health says at least four people in Oklahoma have been sickened due to cantaloupes tainted with salmonella.
One of the illnesses is newly reported, OSDH said Friday.
Eight people in the United States and Canada have died due to the food poisoning outbreak linked to both whole and cut melons.
A number of cantaloupes have been recalled, including from Vinyard Fruit & Vegetable with facilities in Oklahoma City. The company used products containing tainted melons from Sofia Produce based in Arizona.
Sofia products are marketed under the name Trufresh. Crown Jewels and Pacific Trellis are two other companies involved in the recall.
Any melon with a sticker that says “Malchita” or “Rudy” should not be eaten.
The CDC says pre-cut cantaloupe shouldn’t be eaten unless the brand is known.
