Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition The following is an update from FDA of concern to our subscribers. Outbreak Investigation of Salmonella Oranienburg: Whole, Fresh Onions (October 2021) The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, is investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Oranienburg infections linked to whole, fresh onions. FDA's traceback investigation is ongoing but has identified ProSource Produce, LLC (also known as ProSource Inc.) of Hailey, Idaho, and Keeler Family Farms of Deming, New Mexico, as suppliers of potentially contaminated whole, fresh onions imported from the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. FDA has posted a list of additional recalls being conducted by retailers that may have received recall onions from ProSource Produce LLC and Keeler Family Farms. This list includes recalls conducted by companies that further processed the onions by using them as ingredients in new products or by repackaging them. It is possible that this list may not include all retailers who have received these onions; however, this list is based on the best information currently available to the FDA and will be updated as more information becomes available. As of October 29, the CDC is reporting that there are 808 illnesses across 37 states and Puerto Rico. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued an advisory for recalled onions that were imported to Canada. To date, there are no illnesses in Canada linked to this outbreak. FDA's investigation is ongoing to determine the source of contamination and if additional products or firms are linked to illness. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
