Reason for recall

Barcelona Nut Company has initiated a recall of Roasted and Salted Select In shell Pistachios 21/25, flexible package, shelf life of one year because of salmonella contamination.

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.
