California plant recalls 1 million pounds of pistachio products

Now pistachio nuts are being recalled, what's next almonds? Salmonella strains were found last week during routine test by Kraft Foods, one of about three dozen companies that purchase pistachios from Setton Farms. According to CNN, Kraft notified the FDA on March 24, but no comment from Setton Farms, which is the second largest pistachio processor in the US. I think that lately, problems with food processors and manufactures has been this demand for quick production and quick distribution, to meet consumer demands and to make a profit. Unfortunately, it means that events like finding salmonella in foods, is likely to occur.
