Vinyard Fruit and TrendPulseVegetable Company has initiated a voluntary recall of all fresh-cut cantaloupe products due to a possible salmonella contamination, the company announced Tuesday.
Vinyard Fruit and Vegetable, which is located in Oklahoma City, used cantaloupes recalled by a different company, Trufresh, as raw material in their products, such as cantaloupe chunks and cubes and medleys containing cantaloupe.
There have been no reported illnesses associated with the cantaloupes to date, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The recall includes fresh-cut products containing cantaloupe purchased from Vinyard Fruit and Vegetable Company from Oct. 30 to Nov. 10, and distributed in the state of Oklahoma through retail and wholesale outlets.
The company has contacted all retailers and wholesalers who purchased these products and notified them to remove recalled products from their inventory immediately and dispose of products or arrange for their pick-up by a Vinyard representative, the company said.

Trufresh cantaloupe recall
Sofia Produce LLC, which operates under the name Trufresh, also recently recalled cantaloupes due to possible salmonella contamination.
The company, which operates out of Arizona, said the cantaloupes were distributed directly to Arizona, California, Maryland, New Jersey, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Texas and Florida, as well as Canada.
The FDA said the cantaloupes were packaged in cardboard containers with the "Malichita" label between Oct. 16 and 23.
The cantaloupes also have an individual PLU sticker placed upon each fruit. The top half of the sticker is white and has the word "Malichita" written in script in black letters, while the bottom of the sticker is black and has the number 4050 prominently displayed in white letters together with the words "Product of Mexico/produit du Mexique."
According to the FDA, this label will identify individual Malichita cantaloupes purchased by consumers.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are advised not to eat or serve the cantaloupes, and are encouraged to either throw them out or return them to the location where they were purchased.
What is salmonella? What to know about symptoms
According to the FDA, salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, the FDA says you should contact your healthcare provider.
