Individual Concerns

Cantaloupe is not a commonly allergenic food, is not known to contain measurable amounts of oxalates or purines, and is also not included in the Environmental Working Groups 2013 report Shoppers Guide to Pesticides as one of the 12 foods most frequently containing pesticide residues. (In fact, in that report, cantaloupe was listed as a Clean 15 food that was lowest in pesticide residues among the fruits and vegetables studied.)
