The FDA has warned buyers in an additional ten states about purchasing pre-cut melons in grocery stores due to a salmonella outbreak. The states of Alabama, California, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Tennessee have been added to the list, bringing the total up to 23.
