    For those who loves pistachios

    Do refrain from buying & eating any pistachios at the moment.

    Apparently the pistachios originated from Setton Farms has been tested positive for salmonella during some routine tests.

    Did a wiki on this virus and was shocked to read the following:

    Salmonella can survive for weeks outside a living body. They have been found in dried excrement after over 2.5 years. Sunlight (ultraviolet radiation) accelerates their demise; they perish after being heated to 55 degrees C for one hour, or to 60 degrees C for half an hour.

    To protect against salmonella infection, it is recommended that food be heated for at least ten minutes at 75 degrees C (temperature at the center). The bacteria are not destroyed by freezing. Salmonella die rapidly in acid media, and common disinfectants destroy them within a few minutes.


    Setton Farms has since recalled more than 2 million pounds of pistachios worldwide.

    Please pass this news around.
    You wouldn't want to anyone close to you to contract Salmonellosis after eating pistachios.
