22-Feb-2016 - USA

Country Life Natural Foods of Pullman, Michigan is recalling shelled raw pistachios, sold in 2 lb bags and 30 lb boxes, due to possible contamination with the deadly Salmonella bacteria

The recalled 2 pound bags bear the batch number 1357 while the 30 lb boxes sport the name "SAM International", Lot number of 102914, and best by date of April 29, 2016. 

The shelled raw pistachios were distributed in Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin through retail stores, mail order and direct delivery.
