I don’t have contamination OCD but I have had mold poisoning and imo if possible to discard, I would always discard food with internal mold/fungus presence.

Just push out the bad part. The rest is good.

LPT start composting so instead of throwing away you can put it in the compost and still get use out of this onion. Onions will never be truly wasted again. Then ideally use that onion filled compost to grow more onions.

I’d totally use the rings between the center and the outer 2-3….. don’t tell my hub….. he scares easily.

Why? The middle’s a bit funny, just throw that part away.
Do you throw away perfectly good vegetables just because they’re not completely perfect? They grow in the ground, not manufactured in a Samsung factory π
If you’re concerned about your health, don’t be, this is harmless, just don’t eat the weird bit π

I am seeing ppl say just pop it out.
I don’t have OCD, but seeing this would put me off my feed for sure. I’d have thrown it out as well.
Course, I have a jar of emergency pickled onion in my fridge.

This onion is perfectly fine. If you can’t eat that then you’re not an onion lover π

On a serious note, I have seen that post covid, many if not most white onions seem to have this kind of rot.
I have switched to red onions for this reason

This happened to me tonight. Mine was way worse and was not salvageable.

Just pull it out!
The rest is unaffected, that’s why they are organized in rings to protect itself when this happens.
You are the reason so much food is wasted.
So you just throw out a completely fine onion? ππͺ
All the other layers are fine!
I understand you OP. There are plenty of other onions to enjoy.
RIP

How do onions go bad from the inside out anyway?
Eat round it fam
Rule #1: ALWAYS have an emergency onion
It all looks a little mushy anyway.

Rookie moves. That’s still good.
