Check your refrigerator and kitchen for raw onions and products that contain them. Get ready to toss them out.
Federal health officials have identified red onions as the source of the current nationwide salmonella newport outbreak being investigated.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late Friday evening said the onions are traced to Thomson International, Inc., based in Bakersfield, California. Other types of onions — white, yellow and sweet — also could be contaminated.
The CDC advises that consumers, restaurants and retailers should not eat, serve or sell any onions from Thomson International or food made with these onions. Check stickers on onions to see whether they are from Thomson International, if they are toss them out, even if no one fell ill.
