Food Lion received recalled Burch Farms “Caribbean Gold” cantaloupes at 463 locations in seven states, the supermarket chain announced Tuesday. The cantaloupes were first recalled on July 28 due to a random sample testing positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Food Lion published [a list](http://d1pmybhtyfsbgv.cloudfront.net/Assets/Docs/nutritionWellBeing/FoodLion%5FReids%5Fcantaloupe%5FrecallList.v-2-1-3796-0.v-2-1-3805-0.pdf?ref=foodsafetynews.com) of affected stores, which includes locations in GA, KY, NC, SC, TN, VA and WV. The recalled melons feature a red Burch Farms sticker with PLU #4319\. Food Lion has urged customers to discard any recalled cantaloupes, but to save the PLU sticker for a full refund. Burch Farms’ initial announcement identified “Athena” cantaloupes as the variety under recall, before correcting it to be Caribbean Gold.
