At least 652 people have reported illness with 129 hospitalizations due to the onions imported from Chihuahua, Mexico, and distributed by ProSource Inc, according to the CDC. The company said these onions had import dates from July 1 to Aug. 27. It said they can last up to three months in storage and may still be in homes and businesses. ...

The CDC says that if you have onions at home and you're not sure where they came from, throw them out.

The CDC is advising people to throw away any unlabeled onions as a precaution.

The agency says interviews with people sickened by the outbreak indicate that 75 percent of them ate or may have eaten raw onions.
