Central California based Setton Farms has just issued a recall of about one million pounds of pistachios due to salmonella contamination worries.

Food safety officials are looking through the Farms’ plant in rural Turlare County in order to see if it could lead them to the source of contamination. Expansion of pistachio recall was also announced in a conference call held at 7pm ET plus they also mentioned that consumers shouldn’t eat any pistachios until more info is known.

The recalls has just began last Friday when the Georgia Nut Company recalled its Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend trail mix after finding out through a test that some were positive of salmonella.

A spokesman for Setton declined to comment, saying the company’s own inquiry into the cause of contamination was continuing. Setton likewise says in its website that the California plant is the second-largest pistachio processor in the United States.
