Melon Vs. Watermelon.

The article deals with the case presented by the National Watermelon Association (NWA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the classification of watermelon in the melon category. The NWA is urging the FDA not to group watermelon in the melon category because melon is one the seven high-risk categories based on outbreaks traced by FDA. Robert Morrissey, executive director of the NWA is urging growers to plead their case to FDA and reconsider watermelon in relation to food safety.
