Food Lion Recalls Onions from Select Stores

SALISBURY, N.C. – Food Lion is announcing that one of its suppliers, Thomson International, has announced a recall of several onion varieties sold in select Food Lion stores.  The FDA and CDC have announced that red onions from Thomson International are a likely source of potentially contaminated red onions linked to a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Newport. 

This recall impacts jumbo red onions sold between May 24 – July 31, and jumbo white onions, jumbo yellow onions and three-pound bags of yellow onions sold between May 24 – Aug. 1. The affected items were sold at select Food Lion stores in the produce section. It also impacts sliced red onions and stir fry vegetables prepared in-store and sold in the in-store cut fruit and vegetables department at the same select Food Lion stores between May 24 – July 31.
