Food Safety Action Plan report : 2012/13 targeted surveys : targeted survey investigating Salmonella, Shigella and generic E. coli in cantaloupes.: A104-580/2013E-PDF

"The Food Safety Action Plan (FSAP) aims to modernize and strengthen Canada's food safety system in order to better protect Canadians from unsafe food and ultimately reduce the occurrence of foodborne illness. Cantaloupes have been associated with numerous outbreaks of foodborne illness worldwide. In recent years, increased surveillance activities have also triggered several non-outbreak associated recalls of cantaloupes in the United States (U.S.) and Canada. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) has ranked melons, including cantaloupes, as the second highest priority group of concern in terms of microbiological hazards among fresh fruits and vegetables"--Executive summary, page 2.
