What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves high-risk pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella) and is classified as FDA Class II. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant pathogens or potential for serious injury are rated as Severe (4), especially given the failure to confirm test results before release.

Plain-English summary

McCain Foods USA is voluntarily recalling Fire-Roasted 1/2" Diced Onions sold in 25 lb. containers under the Jon-Lin brand. The recall was initiated after an internal audit at the manufacturing location revealed that finished product had been released on numerous occasions following presumptive positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella. The company did not conduct confirmation testing for these results before releasing the product.

The affected product was distributed in the United States, Canada, China, Korea, and Mexico. The recall includes all products shipped on or after January 1, 2016, with specific batch numbers listed in the official recall notice.

Consumers who have purchased these products should check their inventory for the affected batch numbers and stop using the product if it matches the recall criteria. The FDA classifies this as a Class II recall, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
