USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated onions that have been recalled by Thomson International Inc. due to concerns that the products may be contaminated with Salmonella Newport.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FDA and public health and regulatory officials in several states are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to the onions.
FSIS said it was issuing the alert to ensure that consumers are aware that the products, which bear the USDA mark of inspection, should not be consumed. As more information becomes available, FSIS will update the public health alert.
