PITTSBURGH — Officials believe contaminated onions are the source of a salmonella outbreak that has sickened hundreds of people in recent weeks in the U.S. and Canada.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a Salmonella outbreak linked to onions from Thomson International in Bakersfield, California.
They were sold at Pittsburgh-area Giant Eagle and Market District locations. Shoppers who bought the onions between early June and now have been notified through a phone call.
