Reason for recall

Country Life Natural foods shelled raw pistachios, sold in 2 lb bags and SAM International labeled 30lb boxes because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
