FRESNO, Calif.- A California company is voluntarily recalling cantaloupes in several states, including Colorado, because of possible salmonella contamination.

Fresno-based DFI Marketing Inc. issued the recall as a precaution after salmonella was found during routine testing.

The FDA says about 28,000 cartons of product are possibly contaminated.

They were packed Aug. 26 and may have been distributed from Aug. 27 to Sept. 10 to almost two dozen states and Mexico.

No illnesses have been reported.

Last year, 33 deaths were associated with a listeria outbreak linked to cantaloupes from Colorado.
