AND NOW... PISTACHIOS!

Granted, the title for this article sounds like something worthy of Monty Python's Flying Circus, but the Federal Food and Drug Administration has released a warning about a possible salmonella outbreak from this nut while initiating a recall stemming from a processing facility in California that first discovered the contamination.
Consumers are being warned about the possible health risks from eating the nuts or anything containing pistachios that originated from that site; and are advised to either toss the products away or take them back to the place of purchase just like we have had to do before with spinach, salsa, and other items.

Now while the concern about salmonella is legitimate and not to be taken lightly, personally, I'd rather enjoy a Monty Python routine than risk my health.
