Green onion recall: See list of products with salmonella risk

Church Brothers Farms issued a voluntary recall Friday for green onions sold to a limited number of U.S. and Canada retailers due to the produce being linked to a potential salmonella contamination.

The recall posted by the Food and Drug Administration states that Church Brothers Farms voluntarily recalled 1,271 cases of green onions. The recall is a result of a single product sample collected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that indicated the presence of salmonella.

To the knowledge of Church Brothers Farms, no illnesses had occurred due to ingestion of the green onions, as of Oct. 18, according to the FDA.

Salmonella is a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. The disease can cause serious and sometimes fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, the FDA reports.
