A recent salmonella outbreak has infected 73 people across 22 states. So far 15 people have been hospitalized from the illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The true number of sick people from this outbreak is likely much higher and may not be limited to the states with known illnesses, the CDC reported.

Recalled products include the following:

The recalled Gills Onions products were sold in grocery stores, and sent to some restaurants and other institutions in the U.S. and Canada, according to the CDC. One cluster of the salmonella outbreak was identified in a long-term care facility.
California and Utah had reported the largest number of salmonella cases, with 17 outbreaks each.
