What happened

Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling certain salsa products because they contain onions that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness. The onions came from a supplier, Gills Onions, that issued their own recall for the same contamination concern.

Who is at risk

People who are pregnant, elderly, very young, or have weakened immune systems are at highest risk of serious illness from Listeria, though anyone can become sick.

What to do

Check your home for the recalled salsa products using the UPC codes listed and do not eat them—throw them away or return them to the store. If you've eaten this salsa and develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or nausea, contact your doctor and mention the recall.
