The salmonella food poisoning lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are investigating potential lawsuits for individuals who were sickened by contaminated products that were part of a recent pistachio recall. Millions of pounds of pistachio nuts have been recalled due to concerns that they may be contaminated, and these nuts were used in a number of different products that could cause severe and potentially life-threatening food poisoning.

The pistachio recall was issued on March 31, 2009, for all nuts processed at a plant in California. The inshell and shelled pistachios were distributed to a number of different manufacturers who sold them to the public as individual packages of pistachios and in a number of other products, such as ice cream, trail mix, cakes and mixed nuts.

The pistachios may be contaminated with salmonella bactereia, which could cause symptoms of food poisoning, like abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and fever. For young children, older adults and those with weak immune systems, consuming the tainted pistachios could cause more serious food poisoning, potentially resulting in hospitalization or death.

According to the FDA pistachio recall website, there are currently 77 different products that may contain the contaminated nuts, including:

  • Fred Meyer Pistachios
  • Frito-Lay Pistachios
  • Kroger Pistachios
  • Pay Less Stores Pistachios
  • Planters Pistachios
  • Publix Pistachios
