Hannaford Supermarkets on Saturday issued a recall of cantaloupes from a farm in North Carolina that coud be contaminated with listeria.
Any cantaloupes with stickers that read Burch Farms and have a PLU number of 4319 can be returned for a refund. Any remaining fruit that was in stores as of Saturday had been removed, according to a press release from the supermarket chain.
There are no reports of illnesses from the melons, but listeria has the potential to cause serious illness.
It’s the second recall from Hannaford in less than a week. Last Monday, the company recalled nearly 30,000 pounds of Cargill ground beef that were believed to have been tainted with salmonella.
Hannaford encouraged customers to check for any ground beef with use or sell by dates between May 29 and June 16 to return the meat for a refund.
Scarborough-based Hannaford Supermarkets operates 181 stores and employs more than 26,000 associates in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.
