What happened

The onions were distributed to the US, Canada, China, Korea, and Mexico.

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed these onions could be at risk, but people who are pregnant, very young, elderly, or have weakened immune systems face more serious complications from these bacteria.

What to do

Check if you have Jon-Lin brand sautéed diced onions (25 lb. containers) in your freezer and do not use them. If you have consumed this product and develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or diarrhea, contact your doctor and mention the potential exposure to Listeria or Salmonella.
