3rd class-action lawsuit over cantaloupe salmonella outbreak filed in Canada – CTV

Jan. 9, 2024

VANCOUVER – A third proposed class-action lawsuit has been filed over salmonella-tainted cantaloupes that have sickened people across Canada.
Law firm Slater Vecchio says it has filed the lawsuit in British Columbia against Mexican company Malichita, which grew the cantaloupes, and two U.S. food companies.

The law firm filed a similar suit last month in Quebec on behalf of a Montreal man who was hospitalized with salmonella, and says the latest proposed class action is on behalf of all people outside of that province who were affected by the outbreak.

Ontario-based law firm Siskinds has also filed a proposed class action lawsuit in Manitoba, alleging that a Sarnia, Ont., woman became sick after eating cantaloupe that she believes was tainted with salmonella.
