The company says the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. Salmonella can cause serious and even life-threatening illness in the elderly, persons with weakened immune systems, frail persons and young children.

Healthy people who become infected with Salmonella may experience the following symptoms:

  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • abdominal pain
  • fever
  • diarrhea (possibly bloody)

In some rare instances, the bacteria can get into the bloodstream and cause endocarditis, infected aneurysms and arthritis.

The company originally recalled the product on March 10, 2016 but expanded the recall since that time.

The recall is the result of routine testing by the US Food and Drug Administration third party contracted lab which revealed that the Nature's Eats Natural Pistachio Kernels product contained Salmonella.

The company has stopped the distribution of all of the above products containing pistachio kernels.

They ask consumers who purchased any of the above listed products and best by dates are to discontinue eating the potentially affected product and return the product to the retail location for a refund.

Consumers with concerns or questions should contact the company at 1-844-571-5555 from 8:30am to 5:30 pm Central Standard Time.
