Setton Farms is the nation's second-largest pistachio processor. The Food and Drug Administration said today the company had voluntarily recalled all of its 2008 crop. That's more than 1 million pounds of nuts.
About 1 million pounds of pistachio are being recalled by a company as there may be a danger of salmonella outburst. There are investigations which are been conducted about the contamination and the food safety officials are investigating Setton Farms’ plant.
This recall was commenced on Friday by the Georgia Nut Company. This pistachio recall was to get the Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend, after tests gave positive to salmonella.
Though there are no illness reported the recall is effective because the test gave positive results. FDA reports say that pistachio recall has nothing to do with the peanut butter recall that happened recently, although both were related to salmonella. The best thing to do now is avoid eating pistachios for now until the FDA knows what products are affected.
