An outbreak of salmonella poisoning linked to bagged, precut onions has sickened at least 73 people in 22 states, including 15 who were hospitalized, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.

Gills Onions of Oxnard, California, has recalled packages of diced yellow onions, red onions, onions and celery and a mix of onions, celery and carrots, known as mirepoix. The products recalled had use-by dates in August 2023. They are no longer for sale in stores, but consumers may have them — or foods made with them — in freezers. Consumers should not eat, sell or serve the onions for foods made with them, health officials said.

The diced onion products were sold at food service and other institutions in the U.S. and Canada and at retailers in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Retail sites included Stater Bros., Bashas’ markets and Smart & Final stores in Arizona and California and Smart & Final and Chef’s Store in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.

I’d normally agree with you but not practical if you’re adding onions to your hotdog at the baseball game.

Walking around with a bag of onions in case you encounter a wild hot dog? Either way, could always precut it yourself before you go

The article said good service stores so I assume it’s businesses buying these onions, not grocery shoppers.

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fair enough, though I would expect that businesses would prefer a one time purchase of some kind of food processor that will allow them to save money long term by buying whole products.

I can’t imagine the gas station attendant chopping onions for the minimart. You hear horror stories on sites like this from ex fast-food employees. The thing that seems to be particularly dangerous is any dispenser with long tubes, eg ice cream, beer, soda.

You have to pay someone to operate the Robot Coupe, and maintain the space to store it and clean it. Lots of food service situations can make it cheaper to buy prepped veggies.

You're taking your own onions to a ball game?

[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I’m starting to think you guys don’t leave the house often.

...the vendor gives you the onions. You think they're cutting them himself or buying pre-cut?

I know I would never. I've got better things to do than watch baseball while eating a hot dog.
