This was what was originally claimed but they seem to be satisfied that the green onions came from Mexico and they noted in the article I read that it is impossible to completely remove all traces of dirt from green onions because it is a layered vegetable. It has nothing to do anyone not washing her hands or not washing the vegetables. I have eaten at the restaurant in Tennessee where the man died and many dozens were sickened, and it seems to be the same green onions. The restaurant and help seemed perfectly clean and middle class and shiny to me. But I admit if I'd known that they could sell salad veggies in the U.S. from Mexico, without cooking them, I would not have eaten the salad, any more than I eat the salad in Mexico.

I grow my own green onions and salad greens.
