Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Keeler Family Farms has recalled approximately 362,217 bags of whole raw Red, White, and Yellow onions due to potential contamination with Salmonella Oranienburg. The recall affects 25 lb. and 50 lb. mesh bags that were imported from Chihuahua, Mexico, and shipped between July 1, 2021, and August 25, 2021. Consumers should check their pantry for these specific onions, which were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and in Ontario, Canada, and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The onions may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for whole raw Red, White, or Yellow onions packaged in 25 lb. or 50 lb. mesh bags.
  2. Verify if the onions were shipped between July 1, 2021, and August 25, 2021, by checking the bill of lading or pallet/bag labels, which will state 'Product of Mexico'.
  3. Confirm the recall by looking for the specific FDA recall numbers: F-0170-2022 (Red), F-0171-2022 (White), or F-0172-2022 (Yellow).
  4. Do not eat, serve, or sell any of these onions; if you have them, dispose of them immediately or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  5. Thoroughly wash and sanitize any surfaces, containers, or utensils that may have come into contact with these onions to prevent cross-contamination.
  6. Contact Keeler Family Farms or your retailer if you have questions regarding the specific onion shipment you received.
  7. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
