Officials notified the shipper, Salinas-based Steinbeck Country Produce, and on Aug. 28, the company issued a voluntary recall for 3,360 cartons of iceless green onions reports the Associated Press.
A Steinbeck spokesman says the company bought the onions from Circle Produce, a Calexico-based company supplied by an onion farm in Mexicali, Mexico.
Castroville-based shipper Ocean Mist Farms recalled 1,746 cases of its green onions as well, after realizing they came from the same lot. No illnesses have been reported.
