American Gourmet Recalls American Gourmet Roasted/Salted
Pistachios Because of Possible Health Risk

Consumers: Maurice (760) 599-0480

American Gourmet of Vista, CA is recalling American Gourmet
Roasted/Salted Pistachios because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.
American Gourmet was informed by its Pistachio supplier to initiate a voluntary
recall. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal
infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened
immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience
fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In
rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism
getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as
arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The products, which were distributed in San Diego,
Riverside, and San Bernardino counties in the state of California through
retail stores and can only be identified by Best by Dates found on the lower
bottom panel of the package.
