Reason for recall

Potential contamination with Salmonella Newport in onions and prepared foods containing onions.

Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
