The Department of Agriculture said that tests showed no link between this recall and the listeria outbreak that has killed seven people in seven Northeastern states.

All of the cantaloupes in the current listeria outbreak came from Jensen Farms, a Colorado-based company.

Officials say they aren't worried about a similar listeria outbreak in potatoes since those vegetables are rarely eaten raw.

Those tainted cantaloupe set a dubious U.S. record in 2011: most deaths in a listeria outbreak.

There were 14 deaths and 4 miscarriages or stillbirths in a listeria outbreak in hot dogs and cold cuts from Sara Lee Corporation.

Editor's note: On Dec. 8, the CDC issued its final update for the listeria outbreak.

In the 1985 listeria outbreak linked to Mexican-style cheese, there were 18 adult and 10 infant deaths.

A listeria outbreak linked to cantaloupes from Colorado has killed 13 people and infected 59 others, US health officials have said.

It is the deadliest listeria outbreak in the US since 1998 when contaminated hot dogs and deli meats killed 32 people and made 101 sick.

Federal investigators said on Tuesday that the products were likely to have been a source of a listeria outbreak that killed seven people in seven Northeastern states.
