CDC: Salmonella outbreak linked to whole onions

Details: Fresh, whole onions imported from Chihuahua, Mexico, by ProSource Inc. are linked to the illness and should not be eaten, sold or served, the CDC said.

• The agency is advising consumers to also throw out unlabeled onions and sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with the produce, per the announcement.
• The tainted produce was last imported on Aug. 27, the CDC said.

Threat level: Most people recover from salmonella within a week.

• The CDC urges people to look for symptoms such as a fever higher than 102°F, diarrhea that lasts for more than three days and other signs of dehydration.
