Indiana Farm Pulls Watermelons From Market

{Owensville, Indiana}...Chamberlain Farm Produce of Owensville, Indiana has pulled its watermelons from the market after a foodborne illness was found on one of the melons. An Indiana health department spokeswoman says the watermelon salmonella strain is different from the one found in cantaloupes last month. Federal officials have said the cantaloupe contamination killed two Kentucky residents and sickened 204 people in 22 states. Chamberlain officials say they're cooperating with state and federal food safety officials and  they're unaware of anyone becoming ill from the watermelons.
