For your awareness, a CDC food safety alert regarding an outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to cantaloupes has been updated. Seven children attended childcare centers before they got sick. Children under 5 can get very sick from Salmonella. For additional information on what childcare centers should do, key points, recalled<https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/sundsvall-11-23/index.html> products, what everyone should do, and Salmonella symptoms<https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/general/index.html>, please review the updated<https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/sundsvall-11-23/index.html> CDC guidance.
