What consumers should know
Dogs can become infected with Salmonella after eating a contaminated product, including kibble.
Infected dogs may show symptoms that include lethargy, decreased appetite, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some infected dogs may not show any symptoms at all, but may shed the bacteria in their stools nevertheless, potentially infecting other animals or humans.
People who become infected with Samonella may suffer from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. In rare cases, a Salmonella infection can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
Pet owners or other individuals who may have come into contact with the recalled product should monitor themselves and their animals for symptoms of Salmonella infection, and should consult their veterinarian or healthcare professional (as appropriate) if any of these symptoms appear.
How to report a pet illness
People who think their pets have become ill after consuming contaminated pet food should first contact their veterinarians. Veterinarians who wish to have pets tested for Salmonellamay do so through the Veterinary Laboratory Investigation and Response Network (Vet-LIRN Network) if the pet is from a household with a person infected with Salmonella.

“A complete and compelling account of the hidden and not-so-hidden ways the food we give our beloved pets can be contaminated.” – JoNel Aleccia, Health Reporter, Food & Nutrition, The Associated Press.
These cantaloupes, which were imported from Mexico, have been the subject of recalls in recent days in both the United States and Canada.
The eight cases were reported in the Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health and Island Health regions of Canada’s westernmost province. Outbreak victims range from less than one year to 68 years of age.
Genetic sequencing of the Salmonellabacteria shows a link between some of the BC cases and the strain of Salmonella found in the recalled cantaloupes.
The BCCDC is collaborating with BC’s regional health authorities, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to continue to investigate the outbreak.
On November 14, 2023, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency updated an earlier recall notice to include all Malichita brand cantaloupes sold between October 11, 2023 and November 14, 2023, inclusive.
On November 9, 2023, SOFIA PRODUCE, LLC (dba Trufresh) of Nogales, Arizona, announced a recall of all sizes of fresh cantaloupes packaged in cardboard containers labeled with the “Malichita” label, sold under the following sales order numbers between October 16, 2023 and October 23, 2023.
What consumers in Canada and the United States should know
Consumers are advised to discard and not consume Malichita cantaloupes that have been recalled. If you have whole or pre-cut cantaloupes in your home and are unsure of their origin, discard them as a precaution.
Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
If you feel unwell, and especially if you have symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting, do not cook or prepare food for other people.
If you suspect you are suffering from a Salmonella infection, consult your healthcare provider.
