The Food and Drug Administration said Salinas, Calif.-based Church Brothers is voluntarily recalling 1,271 cases of green onions due to a potential salmonella contamination.

These cases were distributed to a small number of retail and foodservice customers in Canada and the U.S. (Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia).

The recall is a result of a single product sample conducted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which indicated the presence of salmonella, according to the announcement. The FDA said Church Brothers reported this issue to the administration. The FDA said no illnesses have occurred or been reported to date.

Products impacted by this call include four by 2-pound cases with the lot code CB272378. Products were sold under the brands Trade Joe’s, Church Brothers and Imperial Fresh.
