Another food scare? Nuts! This time, pistachios. From Reuters:
A California pistachio processor issued a nationwide recall of pistachios due to possible salmonella contamination, and U.S. health regulators said consumers should avoid all pistachio products until more information is available.
The affected nuts were shipped on or after September 1, 2008, by Setton Pistachio. The recall could affect more than just whole pistachios as they were used as ingredients in a range of food products.
I almost grabbed a bag of pistachios as a snack last night. I'm glad I went with peanuts instead. Nobody ever got sick from peanuts.
