According to the FSIS, the products named in Wednesday’s alert contained onions that were initially recalled on Saturday by Thomson International Inc., a California-based grower and supplier. The company’s onions were sold under a variety of brand names, including Thomson International, Thomson Premium, TLC Thomson International, Tender Loving Care, El Competitor, Hartley’s Best, Onions 52, Majestic, Imperial Fresh, Kroger, Utah Onions and Food Lion, per an Aug. 1 recall announcement shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The same recall announcement confirmed that the supplier’s onions were distributed to wholesalers, restaurants, and retail locations in all 50 states (and Washington, D.C.) and Canada.
At the time, the FDA and the CDC urged customers, retailers and restaurants to throw out the recalled products, plus any onions that do not disclose a source of origin. The FDA further reported at least 396 nationwide cases of salmonella poisoning potentially linked to the onions.
