The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting a salmonella outbreak linked to onions.

It says hundreds of people in over 37 states have become ill due to the outbreak. 

The onions are fresh whole red, white and yellow onions that were imported from Chihuahua, Mexico and distributed by ProSource. Inc. 

They were sold to restaurants and grocery stores throughout the U.S.

The CDC is advising consumers to throw away any whole red, white, or yellow onions they have at home that do not have a sticker or packaging or that indicate the brand ProSource and the country of Mexico.
