What Are the Risks?

While no illnesses have been reported yet, Salmonella contamination poses serious health risks.

Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, headaches, and in severe cases, dehydration or hospitalization.

Vulnerable groups such as young children, seniors, and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk of complications.

If you’ve consumed the product and experience any symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Consumers with the affected pistachios should dispose of them immediately or return them to the store for a refund. For questions, the CFIA encourages individuals to contact them directly.
