Pistachio Recall Source - Setton Farms

Here is an email received from Paramount Farms, the supplier for Sunkist brand Pistachios:

Thank you for contacting Sunkist concerning pistachios processed and packaged by Paramount Farms.

Paramount Farms has learned that Kraft Foods, maker of Nantucket Blend trail mix, and its supplier the Georgia Nut Company, have issued a voluntary precautionary recall in the United States due to potential Salmonella contamination.

The recall was issued as a result of in-house sampling and testing with respect to pistachios provided by Setton Farms a third-party supplier. There have been no reports of illnesses linked to these products.

The recall does not involve Paramount Farms and our product is not affected by the situation. Paramount Farms has stringent quality control procedures in place and employs the highest food safety standards.
