4. do not fear, Rump and the Thugs will just dismantle the FDA, so no reports, no outbreaks

5. ugh...all my onions are in a big communal bowl..

..i got them either at Fred Meyers or Safeway. Hubby said he checked something on the bag and nothing matched. Also there was a warning posted in the stores so I would assume they wouldn't be stocking the affected ones. Maybe I will stick with green onions for a bit.

6. I'm so glad my local market has local organic onions.

Got red ones a few weeks ago since yellows were out of stock. We’d eaten some of them and had no issues before we heard about the national onion problem, so we’re sure we are okay and we will finish the bag.

I ordered yellow onions last week - they too are organic and we again had no issues.

So, if you can get organic locally grown, that’s the way to go.

7. When I went to the grocery store last week, there were no red onions anywhere! Then, when

I went a couple of days ago, there were available (I use for salads). The grocery store I shop at is pretty good at pulling possibly contaminated produce off the shelves very rapidly, so I trust the red onion I brought the other day. Thank god that they (the grocery store) are on top of things, how does one keep up w/ all of the notices of food such and such here, such and such there, etc.?

Point being, red onions (safe) are available in STLMO Aug. 9-10, 2020 time frame. Of course the local coop would be the safest venue to buy red onions, but I don't have a reliable coop/farmer's market located near me.

10. Our garden has

about twenty yellow and twenty white onions yet to pull, I have a couple sweet onions that I bought a couple weeks ago... Vadalias which come from Washington. I won't need to buy any for a while, and I make almost everything with onions.

Thanks for the warning!
