In 2011, CDC along with state and local public health agencies investigated an outbreak of Salmonella Uganda infections associated with consumption of cantaloupe. Eleven states reported 25 cases. Four people were hospitalized. No one died. Illness onset dates ranged from June 6 to July 15, 2011.

Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) conducted a traceback investigation by reviewing records and invoices from the retailer where the Minnesota case's cantaloupe was purchased, but lacking data from other states, could not identify the source of the cantaloupes in this outbreak.
