A salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupe is now over

(CNN) – A salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupe has ended.

The Centers for Disease Control made the announcement last Friday.

More than 400 people fell ill in 44 states, including Kentucky.

That led to 158 hospitalizations and six deaths overall.

The affected cantaloupe also was sold in Canada, where Canadian officials say they had more than 160 cases.

That includes 61 hospitalizations and seven deaths.

The Malchita and Rudy brand cantaloupes were sold at a number of retailers, including Kwik Trip, Kroger and Trader Joe’s between September and December last year.
