We’re so sorry to hear of your illness, and we wish you a full recovery.
We’re also glad that you’re seeking medical attention. You’ve brought up an important point for all our readers: unfortunately, many people try to self-treat what they think is indigestion or “stomach flu,” when in fact they may be suffering from food poisoning. By seeing a medical professional for testing and a proper diagnosis, foodborne illness may be better treated, as well as tracked by epidemiologists to help identify the food source and prevent others from getting sick.

We wish you the best, Sydney, and thanks for your comment. We’ll continue to keep the blog updated with the most recent recalls and food safety information, and we hope you’ll stay in touch.

Thank you so much for your comment & for visiting our blog. At the current time, Deerfield Farms Pistachios have not been included in the recall. However, Setton Pistachios, the source of the salmonella outbreak, distributed thousands upon thousands of pounds of pistachios to 36 wholesalers across the country. Until the FDA is able to account for the whereabouts of all those tainted nuts, they are urging customers not to eat pistachios or any products containing the nuts. We will be continuing to blog about the pistachio outbreak, so please stay tuned. Thanks!
