HelloFresh recalls meal kits with onions linked to salmonella outbreak - CBS News
Meal-kit provider HelloFresh is the latest company to recall products that potentially contain onions tainted with salmonella in an outbreak that sickened nearly 900 Americans, including 100 who were hospitalized.
The onions, and food containing them, have prompted a slew of consumer alerts and recalls, the latest issued Wednesday by HelloFresh, which urged consumers to toss all onions received from May 8 through July 31, 2020, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
That said, customers who have already eaten meals containing the recalled onions should note that thoroughly cooking the product to 165 degrees Fahrenheit/74 degrees Celsius, as instructed by the recipe, would kill the salmonella bacteria.
