Cantaloupe

According to the FDA, 3.5 percent of domestically grown cantaloupe carries Salmonella and Shigella, and same for 7 percent of the imported variety. When you bring home a cantaloupe, scrub the exterior with a mild dishwashing liquid for 15 to 30 seconds under running water and use a scrub brush dedicated solely to cleaning produce (to avoid cross-contamination). The slice and enjoy. Or devour, as the case may be.
