This Popular Cooking Ingredient Is Recalled in Montana Immediately

That didn't take long.  Another day, another recall.  But this time around, instead of an appliance or vehicle going bad, our food is the culprit this time.  Of the 6 states that are affected by the recall, Montana is right at the top of it.

It's time to check your refrigerator and freezer to see if you have any of these left after a shopping trip.

Throw This Stuff Out Immediately If You Do Have It

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an urgent recall for the company Gills Onions.  The recall affects several pre-cut onion packages from grower and processor.

The company states on their website that they have:

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.

The FDA has been following a salmonella outbreak for several months with Gills Onions.  It has sickened at least 73 people across 22 states, including 15 who needed to be hospitalized.
