Plain-English summary

FreshPoint Central Florida is recalling multiple onion products and mixes, including a specific stir fry mix labeled as "MIXES, FC STIR FRY"D"" (Item # 513450). The recall involves 175 boxes of the product, which is a ready-to-eat item weighing 4/5 LB.

The recall was initiated because the products were prepared using onions sourced from Gills Onions LLC. These onions may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, a pathogen that can cause serious illness. The affected onion products were distributed exclusively to restaurant and food service establishments in Florida.

Consumers who have purchased these products should check their inventory for the specific item number and description. If the product is found, it should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase. Since the distribution was limited to food service in Florida, general retail consumers are less likely to be affected, but those who have eaten the product should monitor for symptoms of listeriosis.
