U.S. Importers and Food Manufacturers That Received Cantaloupe From Agropecuaria Montelibano

The 10 importers listed below received cantaloupes from Honduran grower and packer Agropecuaria Montelibano. Next to each importer listed are the brand names under which the cantaloupe is marketed. For example, the importer Bounty Fresh, LLC, sold cantaloupe from Agropecuaria Montelibano under the brand names "Chestnut Hill Farms" and "Perfect Melon." Please note that many of the companies have initiated voluntary recalls of their products. It is also important to note that cantaloupes imported to the United States from other countries and from other Honduran companies may still enter the U.S. as before. Only cantaloupe originating from Agropecuaria Montelibano should be discarded.

Also listed are food manufacturers that market cut fruit products from Agropecuaria Montelibano.

Some importers and food manufacturers may receive cantaloupe from multiple sources, including other countries, so it is important for companies to check with their suppliers to determine the exact source of their cantaloupe. Again, only cantaloupe originating from Agropecuaria Montelibano should be discarded.

Consumers who have bought cantaloupes or products containing cantaloupe should check with the place of purchase to determine if their cantaloupe came from Agropecuaria Montelibano.
