A salmonella outbreak in Canada has been linked to red onions shipped from the U.S.

According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, there have been a total of 114 cases of salmonella across 5 provinces, with 13 in Manitoba.

Sixteen people have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported.

Health officials are advising retailers and restaurants to avoid using or selling red onions that have been imported from the States.

The Canadian Press reports the food distributor Sysco has recalled 10- and 25-pound bags of Imperial Fresh jumbo red onions in the five provinces.
