Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsRaw cantaloupe is safe and nutritious during pregnancy only when prepared with rigorous hygiene. It provides outstanding amounts of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and potassium that support fetal vision and maternal fluid balance. Because the netted rind can harbor Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella, the FDA and CDC mandate scrubbing the rind with a clean produce brush under running water before cutting. Slice and eat promptly, refrigerating any leftovers immediately below 40°F.
