Salmonella outbreak from onions

[Shirley U Geste]

Full details in the link.

Fresh whole red, white, and yellow onions imported from Chihuahua, Mexico and distributed by ProSource Inc.

These onions were sold to restaurants and grocery stores throughout the United States.
ProSource Inc. indicated onions were last imported on August 27, but these imported onions can last up to three months in storage and may still be in homes and businesses.

Investigators are working to determine if other onions and suppliers are linked to this outbreak.

Thanks for the heads up. Fortunately for me, mine are labeled as being from CA.

Just yesterday I threw away the bag the ones I have came in. I have started wondering if companies are claiming salmonella just to boost sales since half the time they don't make good on what people paid for the stuff ("if you can't tell where it's from, throw it away").

I doubt it, because retailers refund buyers for the recalled products, and the source company has to refund the retailers. That gets expensive.
