8 Major Food Recalls You Need to Know
About Right Now
By Mura Dominko
The FDA and CDC have warned of several product recalls this summer tied to outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. The biggest nationwide recall between June and August was due to a major Salmonella contamination in the produce aisle, but there have also been reports of illnesses caused by Listeria, as well as several cases of undeclared allergens on products put out by major food companies like Frito-Lay.
While most of these products were removed from grocery shelves quickly, some shelf-stable items and longer-lasting produce could still be lingering in your kitchen. Read on to find out which items have been affected.
Onions and Onion-Containing Products
What started as an [unknown Salmonella outbreak]( spanning 15 states and making hundreds of people sick in late July and early August eventually ended up [being tied to onions](. The CDC warned the public about recalls of red, yellow, white, and sweet yellow onions produced by food company Thomson International, and sold in all 50 states by retailers like Walmart, Kroger, Fred Meyer, Publix, Giant Eagle, Food Lion, and H-E-B. Since it's nearly impossible to trace the origins of loose onions and onions sold under a variety of brand names, the CDC advises to discard any onions you may still have in your pantry that were purchased between May and July. Related products potentially containing said onions—from [cheese dips and salsas](, to a variety of [pre-packaged foods at Walmart and Kroger](— have also been recalled.
