New Yorkers should check their refrigerators for recalled green onions that may contain salmonella, according to a recall alert posted by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on October 18.

Church Brothers Farms has initiated the voluntary recall of 1,271 cases of green onions after a single produce sample collected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency showed the presence of salmonella. The affected products were shipped to a small number of retail and foodservice customers in Canada and eleven U.S. states, including New York. No illnesses have been reported until October 18.

Here’s what you need to know.

Symptoms of Salmonella to look out for

Most people infected with salmonella experience diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, according to the CDC, with symptoms starting six hours to six days after ingesting the bacteria.

And while most people recover without treatment after four to seven days, some people – such as children under five years old, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems – may experience more serious illnesses that require medical treatment or hospitalization.

What to do if you purchased the recalled products

Throw them away, the FDA says, and do not consume the affected product.
