FDA Alerts Consumers to Recall of Certain Pistachios
The FDA and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) are investigating
Salmonella contamination in pistachio products sold by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc, Calif. The company has
stopped all distribution of processed pistachios and will issue a voluntary recall involving approximately 1 million
pounds of its products. Because the pistachios were used as ingredients in a variety of foods, it is likely this recall
