You may way to check your refrigerator. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has linked a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella affecting nearly 400 people to red onions originating from a California producer and sold nationwide.
According to the FDA, the outbreak of Salmonella Newport resulting in nearly 400 cases of illness has been traced to red onions sold by Thomson International, Inc. of Bakersfield, California. Onions were distributed to wholesalers, restaurants and retail stores in all 50 states, D.C. and Canada.
The onions were sold in 5 lbs. carton, 10 lbs. carton, 25 lbs. carton, 40 lbs. carton, 50 lbs. carton, bulk, 2 lb. mesh sacks, 3 lb. mesh sacks, 5 lb. mesh sacks, 10 lb. mesh sacks 25 lbs. mesh sacks, and 50 lbs. mesh sacks under the following brand names:

On August 1, Thomson International, Inc. recalled all onion varieties that could have possibly come into contact with the contaminated red onions including red, yellow, white, and sweet yellow onions. Affected onions would have been shipped from May 1 to the present, according to the FDA.

According to information from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Salmonella outbreak has sickened 396 people and landed nearly 60 in the hospital. There have been no deaths linked to the outbreak, which was first identified July 10 and has since grown.
If you have onions from any of the above brands in your refrigerator, you should throw them out. If you can't tell if your onions, of products containing onions, are part of the recall, the FDA says it's best to exercise caution and toss it out anyway.
