Health officials are trying to make sure that a severe outbreak of contaminated food doesn't get worse. At least 13 people have died and more than 70 other folks have gotten sick from eating cantaloupes that have been contaminated with a bacteria called Listeria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1,600 people get seriously ill from Listeria every year. Around 260 of those die.
