More onions have been recalled in Canada over fears of salmonella contamination, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency says.
On Monday, the food agency said it is recalling Dorsey brand, MVP brand, Pier-C brand, and Riga Farms brand onions due to possible salmonella contamination.
The yellow and white onions, imported from Mexico, were sold in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador, the CFIA said in a statement.
The government agency warned consumers not to eat products or foods containing the raw onions. Retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and food service establishments are warned not to serve, use, or sell said vegetables.
The affected products were sold between July 7 and Oct. 28, 2021. The onions may also have been sold in bulk or in smaller packages or sold loose and a label and may not bear the same brand or product names, the CFIA warned.
