Reason for recall

Bergin Fruit and Nut Company is initiating a recall on a number of pistachio products manufactured using pistachios supplied by ARO Pistachio Inc. Salmonella was found in the environment at the ARO Pistachio Inc. company.

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.
