TERRA BELLA, Calif. (AP) - Officials are investigating a central
California plant that processed pistachios tied to nationwide
recalls of trail mix and bagged nuts because of possible salmonella
contamination.
The California Department of Public Health said Monday it was
investigating Setton Farms in Tulare County.
Officials say Setton sent its pistachios to the Georgia Nut Co.,
which recalled its Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend trail mix
on Wednesday.
Grocery operator Kroger Co. says the California firm also
supplied the line of pistachios it recalled because of possible
salmonella contamination. Those nuts were sold in 31 states. No
illnesses have been reported.
Setton Farms and the Food and Drug Administration did not
immediately respond to calls for comment.
