Badia Spices Recalls Pine Nuts Sold in PA Stores

Nuts sold in Pennsylvania and other states may be contaminated with Salmonella.

Badia Spices Inc. is recalling approximately 3,800 pounds of pine nuts sold in stores in Pennsylvania and four other states, saying the nuts may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. The nuts were imported from Turkey and later recalled by Sunrise Commodities of Englewood Cliffs, NJ. 

Those bulk pine nuts have been linked to an outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis illness. Samples of the bulk pine nuts analyzed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and in various states have tested positive for Salmonella.
