A member asked:
I was wondering are onions resonsible for food poisning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Even spoiled onions may be unpleasant to eat but rarely contain the bacteria which cause food poisoning. When onions are admixed with foods containing especially eggs and mayonaisse, then food poisoning can occur, but the source is not the onions.
