Tainted Cantaloupe Blamed for Another Three Deaths
Jupiterimages/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) -- Twenty-eight people have died and one woman has miscarried since the beginning of the listeria outbreak that’s been traced to Colorado cantaloupes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said this week. These latest figures are up from the 25 deaths and the miscarriage that were all on record a week ago.
Ten more people were reported sick as a result of the outbreak in the week since the CDC last reported figures, bringing that total to 133 cases.
