The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched an investigation into the multistate salmonella outbreak in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other officials.Potandon Produce L.L.C. last week expanded its voluntary recall of whole onions sold as Green Giant Fresh and supplied by Keeler Family Farms.
The most recent recall warns against 2 pound bags of whole white onions and 3pound and 5pound bags of whole yellow onions sold under the brand and shipped from the Mexican state of Chihuahua between July 15 and August 22 that may be contaminated with Salmonella.Meal kits from EveryPlate and HelloFresh have also been recalled in the past because they may have been contaminated by recalled onions that were packaged as ingredients.So far, 892 illnesses have been reported in 38 states and Puerto Rico.
The investigation will look into what caused the salmonella contamination and whether any other items were harmed as a result of the infection. In healthy people, the organism can cause diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. Elderly or frail people, those with weakened immune systems, and young children, on the other hand, may suffer from severe and sometimes fatal infections.

Without treatment, many people recover from a salmonella infection in 4 to 7 days.To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, the FDA advises anyone who has the recalled onions to throw them away and to use caution when cleaning and sanitising any surfaces the onions may have touched.”See if you have any recalled onions.”
Don’t eat any recalled onions or onions from which you can’t tell the origin. “Throw them away,” the CDC suggests. The investigation is still ongoing, but more information is expected to be released as it becomes available.
