The recalled products were sent to several states, but illnesses have been reported in many more. Consumers are advised to check their freezers and refrigerators for recalled onion products, and to discard or return them. Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, with severe cases requiring medical treatment or hospitalization.
