The absence of microbiological contaminants in melon from Sonora, in Mexico, is confirmed Mexican Senasica and producers work to offer contaminant-free products after a Salmonella spp. outbreak occurred in the United States and Canada. 1/16/2024
 Melons from Sonora, Mexico.
The analyses performed by Mexican Senasica and Cofepris technicians in the primary production and packing units of cantaloupe melon (Cucumis melo L.) involved in the Salmonella spp. outbreak that occurred in the United States and Canada, concluded with negative results for pathogenic microorganisms. The samples were analyzed under duly accredited and approved laboratory techniques, and none of them detected the presence of Salmonella sundsvall and Salmonella oranienburg isolates found in the samples taken in the United States and Canada. Senasica urged the producer and packing sector to reinforce contamination risk reduction measures to guarantee the safety of melon production for both domestic consumption and export. In February 2024, Senasica's mobile laboratory will move to Sonora to implement in situ a new program of analysis of water, product and surface samples, with the objective of verifying the existing conditions in terms of safety in the production of cantaloupe melon.
