I'm aware that the english name was derived in the 18th century from The Cantus Region of Italian Cantalupo and generally assume it was traded into Europe from in the centuries prior, so I should be safe.

Thank you for this information, now I feel safe as well!
Avoid cantaloupe ~~unless you know its origins, CDC warns amid salmonella outbreak~~
Fixed.
Team Honeydew!
been avoiding cantaloupe for decades. it's nasty
The number of reported infections has nearly tripled in the two weeks since the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the outbreak, which appears to be linked to Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupes.
US and Canada
It's so weird to me that so much of the supply chain can get contaminated.
Could it be that the cantaloupe is cut and processed in a few factories and then shipped to stores across the US?
Here in South Africa, all fresh produce that gets processed, gets done so at the retail location. Fruit and vegetables are transported whole. When we get outbreaks, or cases of food poisoning, they are usually limited to one store only.
So they want us to trade salmonella for e coli?
