CDC warns people to throw away some onions from Mexico after salmonella outbreak
Well this sucks!

More than 650 people have been sickened by a salmonella outbreak linked to onions imported from Mexico, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday.
Across 37 states, 652 people have been reported sick, with 129 of them hospitalized. The full number of people affected is likely much higher, the CDC said, as many people recover from salmonella without being treated or tested for it.
The red, white and yellow onions were imported from Chihuahua, Mexico, and distributed by ProSource Inc. and any onions labeled as being from Chihuahua, distributed by ProSource or that don't have a label should not be eaten and should be thrown away, the CDC said. Any surfaces or containers that may have touched the onions should also be washed thoroughly.
About 75 percent of sick people "ate or possibly ate raw onions or dishes likely containing raw onions before they became sick," the CDC said.
The salmonella outbreak was identified in a sample of cilantro and lime from a condiment cup that had also contained onions and was collected from the home of someone who became sick.
The Food and Drug Administration said that ProSource had volunteered to recall onions it imported from July 1 to August 27.
