Taylor Farms Colorado, Inc. has recalled approximately 17,995 cases of raw yellow onions in various forms, including sliced, diced, whole peeled, and whole unpeeled, due to potential contamination with E. coli O157:H7. The recalled onions were intended for food service use and were distributed to facilities in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Utah. No incidents or illnesses have been reported to date; however, the recall was initiated as a precaution after potential contamination was identified.
E. coli O157:H7 is a bacterium that can cause severe foodborne illness, including intense stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. While most healthy adults recover within a week, some individuals — particularly children and the elderly — may develop a serious kidney complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which requires hospitalization.
