Sunkist Pistachios Nuts News - Salmonella Recall!

(Note: Sunkist Pistachios are ok, but don't eat them just yet!)

Wow, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes they could kill you? First it was peanut butter that was contaminated and now they are saying we need to avoid eating pistachio nuts due to salmonella infection. While these aren't a regular part of my crazy monkey diet, I'm beginning to worry that bananas aren't too far behind in all this hysteria!

According to CBS News:

A Central California company is recalling about 1 million pounds of pistachios over concerns of possible salmonella contamination.

Food safety officials are looking through Setton Farms' plant in rural Tulare County to see if it could lead them to the source of the contamination.

The recalls began last Friday when the Georgia Nut Company recalled its Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend trail mix after some samples tested positive for salmonella. Setton Farms has started a separate recall of roasted pistachios, and grocery operator Kroger also has recalled some pistachio products.

No illnesses have been reported.

Just so you're aware, for Sunkist Pistachios there hasn't been a recall of their products yet. The companies which have been recalled are mainly Setton Pistachio, Kroger and the Georgia Nut Company.

So far we're safe. They say if you have any pistachios around, don't eat them, but don't toss them out either. Maybe one day Salmonella pistachios will be worth money on eBay? Fat chance, but they are still trying to figure out which ones are infected. Read more about the story here.

Ok enough scary news for today I'm going to check out some new MP3 ringtones for my T-mobile!
