FDA Warns Consumers Not to Eat California Prime Produce and Orange County
Orchards Brands of Pistachios
Products linked to the previous recall by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella
Inc.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to eat
California Prime Produce and Orange County Orchards brands of
pistachios repacked by Orca Distribution West Inc., Anaheim, Calif.
Orca received and repacked pistachios recalled by Setton Pistachio of
Terra Bella Inc., Terra Bella, Calif.
The pistachios may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which
can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children,
frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever,
diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the
organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe
illnesses such as arterial infections (infected aneurysms),
endocarditis and arthritis.
The FDA visited Orca as part of its audit checks to follow up on
Setton Pistachio's recall. The FDA found that products subject to
Setton Pistachio's recall had been repacked and distributed by Orca
under the California Prime Produce and Orange County Orchards brands.
Orca has not made a public announcement regarding these products.
Therefore, the FDA is issuing this press release to alert consumers so
that they can take appropriate action.
The products were distributed to retail locations in airports and
hotels nationwide. The California Prime Produce and Orange County
Orchards brands of pistachios were packaged in clear 6 ounce flexible
plastic Ziploc bags, UPC Number: 8 10826 01116 2 with Sell By Dates of
7/30/09 and 8/30/09.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to eat them.
They can also report problems, including adverse reactions, to the FDA
district office consumer complaint coordinator in their area of the
country.
To date, more than 660 product entries have been included in the FDA's
list of recalled products because of their association with the recall
by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc. For the most updated list of
all the recalled products and pistachio products not subject to the
recall, please visit:
