First peanut butter now Cantaloupe?

Last week, it was the Great Value and Peter Pan brand peanut butter that had been infected with Salmonella. Now Castle Produce is announcing a recall of Cantaloupes in California. No illnesses have been reported yet, but some of the Cantaloupes delivered after February 16th have tested positive for Salmonella. There were about 2,560 that were distributed around to Los Angeles and San Francisco to be delivered and sold to the Western United States. They were distributed in cartons made of natural brown cardboard and read "Tropifresh de Costa Rica" with green and orange letters. The 10th digit on the box out of the 13 for the contaminated boxes is a 2 or a 3. If you have uneaten Cantaloupe that you purchased in the Western United states then you can call the store you bought it from to see if it's the brand that has been recalled. I'm starting to wonder if anything else is going to have a Salmonella recall and if it's just coincedence that both Cantaloupe and Peanut Butter are infected.
