Imported pistachios from Iran: What you need to know
Critical priority
Most at riskYoung children, older adults, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems
What you should do
- 1Pistachios have a long shelf life, so products purchased months ago may still be in your home.
- 2Check CFIA's recall listings to see if your product is affected.
- 3Compare product details (brand, product name and size, UPC and codes) with recall notices.
- 4Do not consume recalled pistachios or pistachio-containing products or use them in cooking or baking—heat may not kill Salmonella in pistachios.
- 5Throw out or return recalled products to the place of purchase.
