According to Reuters news, two potentially tainted pistachio brands should be avoided due to a salmonella-related recall, including:
1. California Prime Produce and Orange County Orchards, which were repacked by Orca Distribution West Inc of Anaheim, California.
2. Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, California, which issued a nationwide recall of its products in late March after salmonella was found in some nuts.
These pistachios they may have been repackaged and sold in airports and hotels, the Food and Drug Administration said.
While more than 660 products have been linked to that recall, so far, Orca and those selling its products have received no customer complaints of illnesses tied to the company's products, she added.
The salmonella bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
