WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Food and Drug Administration says possibly tainted cantaloupes are to blame for a salmonella outbreak that has affected some Ohioans.

The FDA says 50 people have become sick from the Honduran fruit. Officials say people should throw away cantaloupes that came from Agropecuaria Montelibano.

The FDA says no deaths have been reported but 14 people have been hospitalized.
