Onion Recall Update

By Gord Wiebe Aug 4, 2020 | 4:55 AM

The food recall warning issued on July 30th has been updated to include additional distribution and product information.
The industry is recalling red, yellow, white, and sweet yellow onions grown by Thomson International of Bakersfield, California, due to possible Salmonella contamination. Consumers should not consume the recalled products or foods containing these raw onions.
These products may also have been purchased on-line or through various restaurant locations. They may have been sold in bulk or in smaller packages with or without a label and may not bear the same brand or product names as described by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased. If you are unsure of the identity of the onions in your possession, check with your place of purchase.
Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
