Sysco Merchandising and Supply has recalled approximately 6,182 cases of red, white, yellow, and Spanish onions, including pre-cut yellow colossal onions. The recall was initiated because these products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, a harmful pathogen. These onions were distributed across 15 states including California, Texas, and Florida, and were packed in 5-pound and 10-pound bags. Consumers should check for Julian dates 182 through 243 on the packaging, which corresponds to the production period in mid-2021. If you have these products, you should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain; in rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and cause more severe illnesses such as arterial infections or arthritis.
Full refund upon return.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
