Have Pistachios at Home? Don't Eat Them

If you have a bag of pistachios or any product containing pistachios in your home don't eat them.



The Food and Drug Administration is warning people not to eat foods containing pistachios while they figure out the source of a possible Salmonella contamination. One big California-based producer - Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella - is voluntarily recalling more than 2 million pounds of the nuts. California is the second-largest producer of pistachios in the world.

Concerns about bacteria-tainted pistachios surfaced when Kraft Foods tested them as part of routine analysis and found a variety of different types of salmonella.

So far no illnesses have been tied directly to the pistachios - but officials are urging consumers to avoid eating them until the scope of the contamination is clear.

Joe Caputo & Sons Fruit Market in Algonquin is voluntarily pulling all pistachio products from its shelves.

A list of affected products in Kraft’s recall is available on the company's Web site.
