Grocery stores in the United States recall a tub load of cheese dips after an outbreak of salmonella infected an onion crop and made hundreds sick.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday posted six new food reminders on its website. The recall affected dozens of cheese dips and spreads sold between May 15 and August 6 at Kroger, Fred Meyer, Fry’s Food Stores, and Smith’s Food and Drug.

Each merchant recalled that on July 31, they were informed of a salmonella outbreak among the red, yellow and white onions of Thomson International, Inc.

The recall notices also said that after the various groceries removed the potentially damaged Thomson International onions, they found that “several in-store cheese dips may have used red onions from the production department as an ingredient.”

Murray’s, Jarslberg, and deli cheese dips and spreads dominate the roster lists. Taken over by Kroger in 2017, Murray’s Cheese is a cheese seller in New York City. Meanwhile, Jarslberg cheese is a type of cheese that originates from Norway and Deli cheese refers to cheese that is sliced ​​and served at delicatessens for grocery stores.

Each of the buyers’ reminder said that “so far no disease of customers have been confirmed” from the cheese dip and distributed products. The outbreak of salmonella that triggered the first discharge to the onion has so far affected 879 people sick. The recalled onions were shipped to all 50 states and sold at stores such as Kroger, Walmart, and Trader Joe’s.

Anyone who buys a repurchased cheese dip or spread product is advised not to eat the product as it may contain salmonella. Consumers who have purchased repurchased cheese dips may receive a refund from Kroger, Fred Meyer, Fry’s Food Stores, and Smith’s Food and Drug.
