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 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.
