Possible Cantaloupe E. coli Outbreak

Our attorneys are investigating claims related to a possible multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 related to cantaloupe. If these claims are confirmed, it won't be the first time a multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 is associated with cantaloupe.

In the summer of 2006, contaminated cantaloupe was found to be the cause of an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak at Little Seeds Early Childhood Center in Yellowstone City, Montana.

The cantalope's rough skin makes a natural breeding ground for foodborne pathogens. It also makes those organisms hard to wash off, which increases the risk of food poisoning. When you cut through the rind of the melon, you can inadvertently contaminate the fruit inside.

Cantaloupe can become contaminated in the field by soil, manure-based compost, contaminated water or the fecal matter of wild animals.

There has not been a cantaloupe recall in this case.

Cantaloupe E. coli Victim Compensation

Victim Compensation The amount of compensation for an E. coli victim is dependent on a number of factors, including the length of the hospital stay, the estimated time for recovery, complications related to the E. coli poisoning (for example, kidney failure, brain injury, pancreatitis, sepsis, death), estimated medical expenses into the future, and estimated cost of care.
