189 people sick and 26 hospitalized across 6 provinces to date as part of a Salmonella outbreak. Recall expanded to include 1 additional product totalling 345 products. Products were sold nationwide. Do not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute recalled pistachios or pistachio-containing products. Investigation is ongoing.
Who's At Risk?
Salmonella mainly impacts young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Most healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill after exposure to Salmonella.
Symptoms
Symptoms may include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and abdominal pain. Illness usually occurs within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. In rare cases, the organism can get into the bloodstream resulting in severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
