Church Brothers Farms issued a voluntary recall Friday for green onions sold to a limited number of U.S. and Canada retailers due to the produce being linked to a potential salmonella contamination.
The recall posted by the Food and Drug Administration states that Church Brothers Farms voluntarily recalled 1,271 cases of green onions. The recall is a result of a single product sample collected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that indicated the presence of salmonella.
To the knowledge of Church Brothers Farms, no illnesses had occurred due to ingestion of the green onions, as of Oct. 18, according to the FDA.
