Recalls and health alerts about onions likely linked to a salmonella outbreak are expanding to include various fresh salads, sandwiches, snack packs and diced vegetables.

The products contain onions recalled by Thomson International Inc. that may be contaminated with Salmonella Newport. Health investigators say onions from the company are a likely cause of illnesses of about 400 people in the 34 states.

Giant Eagle recalled red, yellow and white onions in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Maryland stores after learning its supplier, Onion 52, sourced onions from Thomson International included in the recall. The grocery chain also recalled a list of prepared foods that used onions, including stromboli, pizza and spinach dip, in those states.
