Green Onions Sold At Trader Joe's Recalled In 11 States For Salmonella

Trader Joe's has issued a recall for green onions sold in 11 states due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall was announced after routine testing identified the presence of the bacteria, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with salmonella may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can lead to more severe illnesses if not properly treated. The recalled green onions were distributed to Trader Joe's locations in states including California, Arizona, and Nevada. Customers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Trader Joe's has removed the affected green onions from shelves and is coordinating with health officials to ensure consumer safety. This recall highlights the importance of food safety and the rigorous monitoring processes in place to protect public health. Consumers with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact Trader Joe's customer service for further information. The company is committed to resolving the issue promptly and maintaining the trust of its customers.
