Pistachio Recall: Healthy Meals, Diets, & Nutrition Information

I don't know if anyone here is as fond of pistachios as I am, but I for one will not be getting any until this new salmonella scare blows over. I already treat chicken like it's radioactive in the kitchen.

Barely two months after a huge recall of peanut-related products, federal officials said late Monday that a California processor would recall about one million pounds of pistachio products because of concerns about salmonella contamination.

On a side note, I just realized I haven't had the green pistachio-flavored ice cream since I was a kid.

So this is what the news was about to say about pistachios last night. I saw on a commercial that they had something to say about them, but I didn't stay up to see what it was. I'm not really much of a nut person so I rarely eat pistachios. If I were to eat nuts, I think cashews are my favorite.

I've never heard of green pistachio-flavored ice cream! Interesting!

I wonder if that includes Spamonie Ice-cream, the pudding or just plain nuts???

Good to know! Ice cream is still okay to eat! Yay!

The day ice cream is not safe, will be a sad day.

It looks like the FDA has a list of the products. :geek:
