In January 2012, Kansas public health officials investigated an outbreak of norovirus associated with a luncheon catered by McAlister's Deli in Wichita, Kansas. Six outbreak associated cases were identified. No one was hospitalized and no one died.

Eating cantaloupe and eating any fruit from the fruit tray were significantly associated with
illness. The fruit served at the luncheon could have been contaminated by an employee that was
infected with norovirus; however, no food handlers reported any illness either before or after
preparation of the food for this event.
