US Foods reports Taylor Farms has issued a recall of whole and diced raw onions

October 23, 2023 from the Food Safety News:

"A food service supplier has reported that Taylor Farms had recalled onions because of concerns about E. coli.

"The recall comes as public health inspectors are investigating a deadly E. coli outbreak that has been traced to McDonald’s Quarter Pound hamburgers served with raw slivered onions. A total of 49 people across ten states have been sickened, and one person has died.

"The recall alert from US Foods does not mention the outbreak or whether it supplies onions to McDonald’s. However, US Foods is the largest supplier of food to food service operations in the country.
