Yellow Onion Recall Expands

An American onion recall has been expanded to most of eastern Canada.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says possible salmonella contamination has prompted Goodfood Market Corporation to recall some 908-gram bags of Goodfood brand yellow onions distributed in PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario.

A similar recall and investigation is under way in the US involving red, white, and yellow raw onions from Prosource Produce of Hailey, Idaho.

While there have been no illnesses associated with the product in Canada, there have been reports of US consumers getting sick.
