Onions

Beta: outbreak-focused, recall matching in progress

Category
Produce

Public Health Trace has 30 outbreak investigations and 190 recalls linked to Onions, reported by CDC, FDA, and USDA.

Safe-handling guidance for onions should come from an authoritative source such as FoodSafety.gov, not this page - Public Health Trace summarizes recall and outbreak records, it does not publish handling advice itself.

Food-to-recall linking is still in progress

This page prioritizes outbreak investigations, which are reliably linked to Onions. Recall records aren't yet reliably matched to specific foods, so the recall section further down may be incomplete even when Onions has real recalls on record.
