California based Setton Farms has issued a pistachio recall. One million pounds of pistachios are involved in the attempt to discover the source of the salmonella contamination.
Setton Farms, the second largest pistachio processor in the United States, supply pistachios to the Georgia Nut Company who make Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend trail mix. It’s thought this mix may contain pistachios contaminated with nuts from Setton Farms.
The pistachios were also sent to about three dozen wholesalers, who repackaged them and resold them to other customers. As a result, authorities are saying the recall was likely to expand as the pistachios were traced to processed foods like ice cream and cake mixes.
According to the FDA this pistachio recall has nothing to do with the peanut butter recall that happened recently, although both were related to salmonella
So far, no illnesses have been reported.
At this time of posting there is no mention of the problem on the Setton Farms website.
