WASHINGTON, Jun 23, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration is warning people not to eat California Prime Produce- or Orange
County Orchards-brand pistachios.
FDA officials said Orca Distribution West Inc. of Anaheim, Calif., received and
repackaged pistachios recalled by Setton Pistachios of Terra Bella Inc. Setton
had recalled all of its pistachios because of possible salmonella contamination
that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
The products were distributed to retail locations in airports and hotels
nationwide in clear 6-ounce flexible plastic Ziploc bags, with "Sell By Dates"
of "7/30/09" and "8/30/09."
The FDA said more than 660 products have been affected by the Setton Pistachio
recall.
