Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. Announces Nationwide Recall of Pistachios
Because of Possible Health Risk
Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. announced today that it is voluntarily recalling
from nationwide distribution specific lots of bulk roasted shelled pistachios and 2,000 lbs., 1,700 lbs., 1,800 lbs. and
1,000 lbs. tote bags of roasted inshell pistachios sold to wholesale customers due to potential contamination with the
Salmonella organism. This voluntary recall affects certain bulk roasted inshell and roasted shelled pistachios shipped
on or after September 1, 2008. The bulk product was distributed throughout the United States. The Company is
voluntarily taking this precautionary measure after learning that a small amount of roasted shelled pistachios
processed by Setton Pistachio and received by a commercial customer in late 2008 recently tested positive for
Salmonella. This voluntary recall is not in any way related to the recent recalls associated with peanuts or peanut
butter.
This product was distributed in the following states: SC, GA, FL, NC, VA, TN, KY. Consumers should not consume
this product and should return what they may have to the place of purchase for a full refund. Setton has established
a toll free number, (888) 228-3717, for consumers to call for further information.
