Green onions recalled due to possible salmonella contamination: What you need to know

Consumers should check their refrigerators for recalled green onions that might be contaminated with Salmonella.

On Oct. 18, Church Brother Farms voluntarily recalled 1,271 cases of green onions, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The recall was prompted after a single sample collected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency indicated the presence of Salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

The FDA said the onions were sold in Canada and the U.S., including Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia.

The recalled onions include:

Church Brothers: Green Onions Iceless 4x2 pound Regular Church Brothers Mexico, lot code CB272378, sold in a clear bag with the product code located on the front of the bag.

Trader Joe's: Green Onion Iceless 24x6 ounce Regular Trader Joe's Mexico, lot code CB272378 with a pack date of Sept. 25, 2024, sold in a brand retail bag with pack date label on the back of the bag.

Imperial Fresh: Green Onion Iceless 4x2 pound Regular, lot code CB272378, sold in a clear bag with product code located on the front of the bag.

The FDA urges consumers to discard and not consume the recalled products.
