An outbreak of salmonella poisoning linked to bagged, precut onions has sickened at least 73 people in 22 states, including 15 who were hospitalized, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.
Gills Onions of Oxnard, California, has recalled packages of diced yellow onions, red onions, onions and celery and a mix of onions, celery and carrots, known as mirepoix. The products recalled had use-by dates in August 2023. They are no longer for sale in stores, but consumers may have them — or foods made with them — in freezers. Consumers should not eat, sell or serve the onions for foods made with them, health officials said.
The diced onion products were sold at food service and other institutions in the U.S. and Canada and at retailers in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Retail sites included Stater Bros., Bashas’ markets and Smart & Final stores in Arizona and California and Smart & Final and Chef’s Store in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Save money and health, don’t buy precut.
I’d normally agree with you but not practical if you’re adding onions to your hotdog at the baseball game.
Don’t do that.
I know I would never. I’ve got better things to do than watch baseball while eating a hot dog.
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
It’s not leaking, it’s crying.

lol thx, I spend my time wisely.
Depends on the cut.
A coarse chop, sure.
A fine mince? Unless you’ve been working a prep line for a few years, that’s gonna take longer
If you cut it into a bit of tiny happy faces it would take forever.
I wonder how quickly that’d turn in to tiny little crying faces.
Point is, even with decent knife skills, a mince takes me a couple minutes. Still, the fresh cut is better, healthier and safer, so it’s a few minutes well spent. but if I’m mincing a shit load, into the food processor it goes.
You’ll lose your Michelin star(s) that way.
I hate this trend of putting things that come in their own packaging in plastic. It’s so dumb
I can see a niche use case for pre chopped fresh veggies, my wife’s little brother can’t really handle a knife but he can cook with prepped ingredients, same was true for my grandmother. It’s not a matter of lack of skill in either case, we’re talking about a disability here.
But for the most part I agree, 95% of consumers should be buying the fresh, unpackaged veggies
It’s for high volume restaurants.
This is actually the first time I’ve heard of pre-cut onions. Lol
I bet you’ve used one of these!
