FDA bans scallions linked to hepatitis A outbreak 11/20/2003 8:28 PM By: Associated Press WASHINGTON -- Mexican scallions from companies linked to outbreaks of hepatitis A are getting held at the U.S. border.>P? The Food and Drug Administration said investigators implicated raw green onions from three firms.

It said products from those companies are being held for investigation.

The liver infections occurred in Tennessee and Georgia last September.

FDA also said it is looking into the source of the latest outbreak of hepatitis A, the largest known in U.S. history.

It left three dead and sickened more than 540 people who'd eaten at a now-closed Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant in western Pennsylvania

Tainted food products are also produced domestically.

I think that if the un-PC crowd are ever in control, we'll find out that this outbreak had nothing to do with green onions.
