    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.
