This is the best summary I could come up with:


Five people have now died in a salmonella outbreak linked to two brands of cantaloupe sold across Canada this fall, according to federal officials.

The Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed the deaths in its latest update on Thursday, though it did not provide further details.

The outbreak, linked to contaminated Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupe, has now sickened 129 people across six provinces — nearly double the number of cases since Dec. 1, when there was just a single reported death.

The current outbreak has been linked to contaminated Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupe sold in October and November.

The agency said there are also 17 cases in Ontario and 15 in British Columbia, as well as two each in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.

"If you are unable to verify the brand of cantaloupe, or if your produce is part of the CFIA recalls, it is recommended to throw it out," PHAC said.
