Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometime fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

This recall includes the following fresh-cut fruit cup and tray products containing cantaloupe with sell-by dates of November 4, 2023, through December 3, 2023. Products were distributed to Kwik Trip, Kwik Star, Stop-N-Go, Tobacco Outlet Plus Grocery, and Tobacco Outlet Plus convenience stores in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, and South Dakota.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the fruit cup and tray products listed above to date.

• Consumers, restaurants, retailers, and wholesalers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled cantaloupe or recalled products containing cantaloupe.
• Some consumers freeze cantaloupe for later use. Consumers should check their freezers and throw away recalled fresh or cut cantaloupe that was frozen for later use.
• If you cannot tell if your cantaloupe is part of the recall, do not eat or use it and throw it away.

Kwik Trip, Inc. takes the safety and integrity of the products it sells seriously. If customers have product affected by this voluntary recall, they should discard it immediately or return it to their local store for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 608-781-8988.

Here's what else consumers should know about the salmonella outbreak linked to cantaloupes:

How many illnesses, deaths are linked to the outbreak?

The CDC reported on Friday 99 illnesses, 45 hospitalizations and two deaths linked to the salmonella outbreak.

The most recently reported illness occurred on November 10, though the agency notes that illnesses can take three to four weeks to be determined as a part of an outbreak.

Which states have been impacted by the outbreak?

The salmonella outbreak has been reported in 32 states including Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennesse, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

Minnesota has the largest number of sickened people with 13 of the 99 cases reported nationwide, according to CDC data.

Which brands have recalled cantaloupes?

The following products have been recalled, as per the CDC:

• Pacific Trellis Fruit/Dulcinea Farms voluntarily recalled nearly 4,900 cases of its "Malichita" brand whole cantaloupes due to the ongoing investigation of Malichita-brand cantaloupe for salmonella. The company distributed the cantaloupes between Oct. 18-26 in California, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin across various supermarkets, according to the FDA. Consumers should look out for corrugated cartons with a price look-up sticker labeled as "Malichita." Pacific said it hadn't received any reports of people being sick as of Friday.
• CF Dallas LLC recalled packages of their Freshness Guaranteed and RaceTrac brands of fresh cut fruit packages on Wednesday.
• Sofia Produce LLC , which operates under the name Trufresh, recalled all sizes of fresh cantaloupe with a label that says "Malichita" on Nov. 15. The recalled cantaloupes were sold between Oct. 16-23.

What are the symptoms of salmonella?

Salmonella is a bacterium that affects the intestines of people and animals, according to the CDC. People can get the salmonella infection from eating or drinking contaminated food and water or by touching infected animals, their feces, or their environment.

Salmonella symptoms include:

• Bloody diarrhea or diarrhea that lasts more than three days without improving
• Diarrhea and fever over 102 degrees Fahrenheit
• Excessive vomiting, especially if it prevents you from keeping liquids down
• Signs of dehydration, including dry mouth and throat, infrequent peeing and feeling dizzy when standing up
• Stomach cramps
• Feeling dizzy when standing up

Symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria, says the CDC. Most people recover without treatment after 4 to 7 days. The CDC recommends getting in touch with a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or get worse.

Is it safe to eat cantaloupe?

The CDC has advised against consuming, selling or serving recalled fruit. The FDA has recommended consumers to discard any food they are doubtful about. However, no warnings have been issued against completely avoiding the fruit.

Kwik Trip adds cantaloupe products to nationwide recall

Photo courtesy of Kwik Trip, Inc.

LA CROSSE, Wis. — Kwik Trip has initiated a voluntary recall of several fruit cups and trays containing cantaloupe due to potential Salmonella contamination in a nationwide outbreak .

A mixed fruit cup, cantaloupe cup and fruit tray that contain cantaloupe from TruFresh, Kwik Trip, Inc. are now being recalled in addition to whole cantaloupes by TruFresh that were previously recalled.

The products have sell-by dates of Nov. 4th, 2023 through Dec. 3rd, 2023. They were distributed to Kwik Trip, Kwik Star, Stop-N-Go, Tobacco Outlet Plus Grocery and Tobacco Outlet Plus convenience stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois and South Dakota.

So far no illnesses associated with the three products from Kwik Trip have been reported. The retailor said customers who have any of the affected fruit should discard it immediately, or they can return it to their local store for a full refund.

President and CEO of the Medical College of Wisconsin Dr. John Raymond told WTMJ that Salmonella is difficult to detect as a consumer: “You can’t tell from eating the food that it’s tainted. It looks and smells and tastes normal.”

If you cannot tell if a cantaloupe is part of the recall, health officials recommend throwing it away.

As of Tuesday, 11/28/23, the total Salmonella case count remains at 99 people in 32 states. A total of eight cases have been reported in Wisconsin and two deaths nationwide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely much higher than reported numbers because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for  Salmonella . It can also take up to  3 to 4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with these specific fruit items, officials said. 

There is a nation-wide outbreak of salmonella associated with cantaloupes, according to the FDA . 

" Salmonella  is an organism which can cause serious and sometime fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with  Salmonella  often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare instances, infection with  Salmonella  can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis," the FDA says.

Kwik Trip, Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of three varieties of fresh-cut fruit cup and tray products listed below because they contain cantaloupe from TruFresh which has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometime fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare instances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Due to the now expanded recall of fresh, whole cantaloupes by TruFresh, Kwik Trip, Inc. is issuing this recall. Cantaloupes recalled by TruFresh were used as a raw material in Kwik Trip, Inc. fruit cup and tray products listed below.

This recall includes the following fresh-cut fruit cup and tray products containing cantaloupe with sell-by dates of November 4, 2023, through December 3, 2023. Products were distributed to Kwik Trip, Kwik Star, Stop-N-Go, Tobacco Outlet Plus Grocery, and Tobacco Outlet Plus convenience stores in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, and South Dakota.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the fruit cup and tray products listed above to date.

• Consumers, restaurants, retailers, and wholesalers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled cantaloupe or recalled products containing cantaloupe.
• Some consumers freeze cantaloupe for later use. Consumers should check their freezers and throw away recalled fresh or cut cantaloupe that was frozen for later use.
• If you cannot tell if your cantaloupe is part of the recall, do not eat or use it and throw it away.

From Big Buddy to Karuba cups, here's how to navigate Kwik Trip's self-serve drink section

Kwik Trip has a pretty expansive self-serve drink station, offering beverages ranging from milkshakes and slushies to iced coffees and hot Americanos. With so many machines, each with a different use, serving a different drink, it can be pretty easy to get confused on what's what or what cups are used with which machine.

Maybe you just want a simple, traditionally brewed coffee and can't seem to find them amongst the Karuba coffees, or maybe you're feeling adventurous and want to switch up your morning latte flavor but can't seem to find the machine that can do just that.

Regardless of if you're a Kwik Trip regular or you barely visit the chain gas station and convenience store, chances are you haven't used every self-serving drink machine they have.

Here's a list of all the drink machines you can find in any Kwik Trip location and what they do.

Slushie Machine, $1.29-$1.99

The self-serve slushie machines are for those looking for a quick, cold, sweet beverage. While flavors can differ depending on the day and location, customers are able to choose between "Blue Moon Frost," "Lime Chill," "Polar Punch," and "Orange Breeze" flavors. The slushies are made with purchasable gallon juices, which are usually located next to the slushies. Any of the "Buddy" cups can be used for these drinks.

Buddy cup sizes include:

• Little Buddy, 20 ounces
• Big Buddy, 30 ounces
• Best Buddy, 40 ounces
• Mega Buddy, 50 ounces

F'Real machine, $3.99

F'real blenders are customer-operated machines used to make frozen treats out of the pre-made cups that accompany the machine. Customers can choose from any of the nine milkshake flavors or three fruit smoothie flavors. Remove the lid, place the 10-ounce cup into the F'real blender, choose the level of thickness you'd like your treat to be and press start. In less than a minute, the machine produces a perfectly blended frozen drink. Flavors include Oreo cookies and cream, strawberry shortcake, fudge brownie batter, Snickers, cotton candy and more. There are over 20,000 F'real machine locations across the U.S. and one can be found in most Kwik Trips.

Fresh Blends machine, $2.49-$3.99

The Fresh Blends machine is another self-serving frozen beverage machine. Customers choose either a 12-, 16- or 20-ounce Fresh Blends cup, place it into the machine and use the touch screen to navigate your drink choice. There are nine drink categories, each with their own flavors. The machine can make fruit smoothies, chocolate shakes, frozen lemonades, frappes, fruit shakes, juice refreshers, cold brew coffee shakes, iced cold brew lattes and iced lemonades. Once you choose your drink and flavor, the machine handles the rest, producing a frozen drink in under a minute and even self-cleaning afterwards.

Karuba Nitro coffee machine, $1.29-$9.99

This coffee machine is specifically for cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas. The gas creates small bubbles in the coffee that produces a signature thick and creamy texture. Customers can choose either the regular cold brew flavor or the French vanilla iced latte. Any of the heat-safe Karuba coffee cups can be used for this machine. Karuba cups come in 12-, 16-, 20-, and 24-ounce sizes. A coffee-to-go size, 96 ounces, is also offered.

Bean2Cup machine, $1.29-$9.99

This simple coffee machine is where customers can get quick, freshly brewed hot or iced Karuba coffee. Flavors include house, hazelnut and Columbian for both hot and iced coffees. Simply choose your Karuba cup size, place it under the drink dispenser and use the touchscreen on the machine to choose which coffee you'd like to enjoy.

Drip coffee machine, $1.29-$9.99

These are traditionally brewed coffees out of a drip coffee machine. While flavors differ depending on the day and season, customers can usually choose from the house blend, Columbian or Kona dark roast. This season's limited time flavor is toasted coconut caramel cream. Choose your drink size, pick your hot coffee of choice and dispense it into your heat-safe Karuba cup. Sugars, syrups, chilled and regular creamers are provided for no extra costs for customization.

Cappuccino and hot cocoa machine, $1.29-$1.79

This machine is for customers looking for a quick, hot and sweet drink. The cappuccino flavors differ depending on the day and location but customers can usually choose from white chocolate caramel, French vanilla, English toffee and more. The machine usually has an option for hot cocoa as well. Choose a heat-safe cup of any size, place it under whichever flavor you'd like and press and hold the button to dispense the drink.

Karuba Gold machine, $1.29-$9.99

The Karuba gold machine is used to make various flavored lattes, mochas, Americanos and hot chocolate, either hot or iced. Customers can add vanilla or caramel to any of the lattes, mochas and Americanos as well as steamed milk with the push of a button. Choose the appropriate Karuba cup and size of your choice, place it under the drink dispenser and use the touch screen to navigate what drink and flavor you would like.

Tea Brewers, $1.29-$1.99

Customers can choose a heat-safe Karuba cup of choice and any of the individual tea bags offered. Simply dispense the hot water into the cup and steep your tea bag. Sugars and other drink additions are available for no cost for customization.

Fountain drink machine, $1.29-$1.99

This is where customers can find the usual sodas and beverages that are not canned or bottled. Kwik Trip carries Pepsi and Coke products in its soda machines, meaning customers can choose from Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, 7UP, Mountain Dew, Coke, Arizona Arnold Palmer, Brisk tea and similar drinks. Some machines even offer flavor shots that can be added to drinks for extra taste. Use any of the "Buddy" drink cups and fill it up with your beverage of choice.
