FDA: Recall of tainted pistachio nuts far from over
April 10, 2009
The recall last week of 2 million pounds of pistachios because of concerns about salmonella contamination has been expanded, and federal officials say more recalls of foods containing pistachios are on the horizon.
Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, the California company that is the nation’s second-largest processer of pistachios, originally had recalled all of its pistachios harvested since September.
The recall was expanded this week to cover Setton’s entire 2008 crop, except for raw in-shell pistachios. Most pistachios sold in stores are roasted.
Setton spokeswoman Fabia D’Arienzo said she did not know how many pounds of pistachios were involved in the expanded recall.
“This is going to resemble the peanut recall in that products are going to be added every day as companies discover they used Setton pistachios,” says Caroline Smith DeWaal of the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest. “It’s going to take a while for the dust to settle.”
