If you’ve eaten cantaloupes recently, listen up.

Federal Health inspectors have found unsanitary conditions at a North Carolina cantaloupe packing shed, leading to an expanded recall of melons that may be potentially contaminated with Listeria.

They were distributed  to 10 states, including Maryland.

This recall involves Whole Athena Variety cantaloupes that were shipped in mid-July.

You should throw out the melons and go to the doctor if you feel sick.
