29th Person Dies in Cantaloupe Listeria Outbreak
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that 139 persons have been sickened or killed in 28 states.
The tainted Colorado cantaloupes have been off store shelves for weeks now. But the symptoms of listeria can take up to two months to appear.
Deaths also have been reported in Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., recalled the cantaloupes Sept. 14.
