WA Salmonella Cases Linked To Pistachios

(Atlanta, GA)  --  A new report from the Centers for Disease Control says pistachios have been linked to an outbreak of salmonella, with two of the cases diagnosed in Washington state.  Officials say pistachios sold under the brand names of Paramount Farms, Trader Joe's, and Wonderful have been recalled by the grower because of the risk of salmonella contamination.  Other states reporting salmonella cases are Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Virginia.  Salmonella is responsible for one-million cases of food-borne illness in the U.S. each year.
