INDIANA (WFIE) -

 

Health officials are still working to determine the source of cantaloupes that are blamed for more than 140 salmonella cases.  

The State Department of Health says it's going to take a little longer to get more details.

Right now, investigators are trying to determine which grower harvested the cantaloupes. They are looking into the shipping process, storage, and retailer to determine the source of contamination. 

Health officials say they believe the cantaloupes were grown in southwest Indiana.

So far, two people have died and 141 people have become sick. 

Officials advise you to throw out any cantaloupes bought since early July.
