Recalled Gills Onions-brand diced yellow onions, diced onions & celery, diced mirepoix, and diced red onions with use-by dates in August 2023.
The US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) investigation is complete; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declares the outbreak over.
The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, investigated an outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to recalled diced onions under the Gills Onions brand name.
As part of this investigation, FDA collected multiple water, environmental, and product samples from the farm that supplied the contaminated onions to Gills Onions. Six of the samples, three water and three environmental, were positive for Salmonella spp. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis confirmed that the strain of Salmonella found in isolates associated with three of the samples matched the same strain of Salmonella causing illnesses in this outbreak. Additional Salmonella isolates from the samples were detected, and CDC identified people who got sick with these strains of Salmonella. FDA and CDC partners reviewed the available data; however, there was not enough epidemiologic or traceback evidence to implicate a product or source of contamination for those illnesses.
As of December 4, 2023, CDC announced that the outbreak is over. CDC reports a total of 80 illnesses in 23 states. There has been a total of 18 hospitalizations and one death associated with this incident. The last illness onset was November 11, 2023. FDA’s investigation is complete.

On the seventh of December, 2023, WRAL News announced an outbreak of 140 illnesses connected to the sushi restaurant, Sushi Nine. The Raleigh, North Carolina-based restaurant received notifications from consumers with adverse reactions after having consumed sushi at its business.
While a virus is believed to be the cause, the blame is under investigation. According to local reports, patrons reported experiencing symptoms that correlate similarly with those of Norovirus, often referred to as the “winter vomiting disease.” One victim, Austin Freels, shared details of his illness following eating sushi at Sushi Nine, while with family and friends a few days prior to his wedding. Austin experienced “agonizing” stomach pain, and mentioned to WRAL that while at the Emergency Room, he was told by health professionals his food poisoning case was “…one of the most severe cases…they had seen…”

New Zealand Food Safety is advising the public not to collect or consume shellfish gathered from some southern beaches on Waiheke Island due to the possible presence of biotoxins.
“An algae-like organism called Okeania spp has been detected on beaches at Surfdale and Blackpool on the southern side of Waiheke Island,” says New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle
“Okeania spp is a cyanobacteria that forms dark-coloured mats of slimy material when it washes up on the beach. As these cynobacterial mats decompose, they turn into a stinky sludge. It can also produce a toxin called Lyngbyatoxin-A, which can cause skin and eye irritation and respiratory issues.
“Samples of the mats were collected by Auckland Council for testing, which has confirmed the presence of Okeania spp and Lyngbyatoxin-A.
“Because of the potential health risks, New Zealand Food Safety is advising the public not to consume shellfish from Surfdale and Blackpool beaches, as well as to avoid coming into contact with the cyanobacterial mats.
“Affected shellfish include bivalve shellfish such as mussels, oysters, tuatua, pipi, toheroa, cockles, and scallops, as well as pūpū (cat’s eyes), Cook’s turban and kina (sea urchin).
“The risks of this toxin contaminating shellfish is unknown, so this warning is precautionary until we can find out more. It’s important to note that cooking shellfish will not destroy biotoxins.
“At this stage, finfish are not included in this public health warning, but we advise people to gut the fish and discard the liver before cooking.”
New Zealand Food Safety has had no notifications of associated illness.
If anyone becomes ill after eating shellfish from an area where a public health warning has been issued, phone Healthline for advice on 0800 61 11 16, or seek medical attention. You are also advised to contact your nearest public health unit and keep any leftover shellfish for testing.
“New Zealand Food Safety is keeping an eye on the situation and will notify the public of any changes,” says Mr Arbuckle.
Commercially harvested shellfish – sold in shops and supermarkets or exported – is subject to strict water and flesh monitoring programmes by New Zealand Food Safety to ensure they are safe to eat.
