Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Gills Onions recalled about 4,900 pounds of pre-sliced yellow onions (sold in bulk 4/5 lb containers under the Imperial Fresh brand) because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Thompson bacteria. The affected products were distributed to stores and food service businesses across most of the United States and parts of Canada.

Who is at risk

Anyone who ate these onions could potentially get sick, but people with weakened immune systems, young children, and elderly adults are at higher risk for serious illness from Salmonella.

What to do

If you purchased Imperial Fresh 1/4" slivered yellow onions in a 4/5 lb container, do not eat them—throw them away or return them to the store. Wash your hands, utensils, and surfaces that may have touched the product. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms like diarrhea, fever, or abdominal cramps.
