(21,847 posts)Shouldn't cooking kill the bacteria? I know not to eat them raw but cooked onions should be okay, right?

(33,643 posts)That's probably the first best question.
Cooking definitely CAN work, but you'd want it to be thorough, and pretty high heat.
Throwing them in water you're boiling for a good 20 minutes should be 100% good.
Short of that, it might be a better idea to toss in most cases IMHO.

Glad that they were able to track down the source. Its not always easy for them to do.

As Emily latella used to say, it's always sumthin...
