The federal Centers for Disease Control has issued a food safety alert for Gold Medal Flour after a multi-state salmonella outbreak was linked to the product.
The agency says interviews with people sickened by the outbreak indicate that 75 percent of them ate or may have eaten raw onions or dishes containing raw onions before they got sick.
The release says ''only 31 percent of pregnant people have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and vaccination rates vary markedly by race and ethnicity.''
