SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is warning everyone about a Salmonella outbreak here in the state.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reporting 60 cases from five states, one of them being Illinois. A CDC investigation indicates pre-cut melons, including fruit salads, are a likely source of the outbreak.

Six cases have been reported in Illinois, ranging in the age from 23 to 87 years old. The cases have been reported in all regions of the state.

IDPH is urging everyone not to eat the pre-cut melons purchased from any Walmart store in Illinois, or in any other affected states. If you have recently purchased pre-cut melons from Walmart, throw it out. If you have eaten a contaminated pre-cut melon and experience diarrhea, fever and cramps go see a doctor immediately. It's recommended that you do not eat any pre-cut melons from Walmart stores anywhere in the state.
