At least 120 Salmonella cases across Canada have been linked to onions imported by a California company.

Thomson International Inc. has now recalled all red, white, yellow and sweet yellow onions — as the Public Health Agency of Canada warns against eating or serving their onions for the time being.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says Canadians first started reporting getting sick between mid-June and mid-July — after eating red onions at home, in restaurants, and care home settings.

The Salmonella outbreak across multiple provinces has sent 17 people to hospital. 

Canadian-grown onions are not being recalled at this time.
