Al Burj Halwa Pistachios May Contain Salmonella

Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Pork, chicken, eggs and dairy products can carry salmonella bacteria. If fruits and vegetables come into contact with livestock, manure or untreated water, they may become contaminated with salmonella.

To prevent the spread of salmonella, people should wash their hands and clean kitchen equipment thoroughly. Salmonella can be spread by contact with sick animals or people with diarrhoea.

Salmonella symptoms generally develop 12 to 72 hours after a person is infected, and the illness generally lasts four to seven days. Individuals with severe or prolonged salmonella symptoms should consult a doctor.

Alesto Californian Pistachios Also Recalled For Salmonella Risk

Village Quality Products is not the only company to recall pistachio products due to potential salmonella contamination. Lidl GB recently recalled some of its Alesto Californian Pistachios Roasted & Salted products because they may have been contaminated with salmonella.

The Lidl recall includes 200g packs of Alesto Californian Pistachios Roasted & Salted with batch code LP200N22004 and a best-before date of 4 Oct. 2022.

Consumers who purchased the recalled Lidl pistachios should not eat the product. Instead, they should return the recalled pistachios to a Lidl store for a full refund.
