News Site | Pistachio Recall

Another recall, aren't we the most sophisticated country in the world? I mean shouldn't we have the technology to find these potential death killers before they reach the public. Give me a break, maybe I'm just ignorant but this is scary crap. We just had the peanut butter recall not too long ago and if not mistaken I believe people died, I thought things like this only happened in third world countries, I guess I should know better.

Salmonella Leads to Pistachio Recall

By ANDREW MARTIN and MICHAEL MOSS

Barely two months after a huge recall of peanut-related products, federal officials said late Monday that a California processor would recall about one million pounds of pistachio products because of concerns about salmonella contamination.

The company, Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, based in Terra Bella, Calif., decided to recall its 2008 crop after one of its customers, Kraft Foods, found several types of salmonella during routine analysis of the product. Kraft Foods alerted the Food and Drug Administration of its findings on March 24.
