Boston (SmartAboutHealth) - According to recent reports, the Food and Drug Administration has announced yesterday that a California based food processing plant is recalling up to 1 million pounds of roasted pistachios that may have been contaminated with salmonella.

Originating from Setton Farms in Terra Bella, California, the nuts were packaged for resale or simply used as additional ingredients in other products such as ice cream and trail mix.

Although there are no illness links to the pistachios, Kraft Foods has found salmonella strains in a routine test last week.

The FDA was advised and has urged consumers to not consume any pistachio products. They also advise to not through away any products as the products can lead to easier tracing of contamination.

After contaminated peanut butter products were found earlier this month containing the salmonella bacteria, hundreds of Americans developped salmonella poisoning including 9 deaths.
