Two people have died and several others hospitalised following a listeria outbreak linked to rockmelons in New South Wales (NSW).

Australians have been urged not to eat the fruit, particularly those deemed to be at risk, such as the elderly, expectant mothers, or those with weak immune systems. Consumers have also been advised to discard any rockmelon they already have in their home.
