WESTERN MIXERS RECALLS 2012 CROP PISTACHIOS BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE HEALTH RISK.
Western Mixers Produce & Nuts, Inc., of Los Angeles, California is recalling ARO and/or Treasured Harvest Pistachios, because it has the potential to 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 illness such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The affected Pistachios were distributed in: California, Nevada, Ohio and Utah; through Retail Stores, Mail Order and various Distributors during the dates of: October 17, 2012 - May 28, 2013.
The Pistachios can be identified as follows:
6 oz. Clear Plastic Cup - Treasured Harvest Label - Roasted & Salted Pistachios
Lot #123050, 123140, 123320, 123450, 123360, 130150, 130240, 130350
12 oz. Clear Bags - Treasured Harvest Label - Roasted & Salted Pistachios
Lot #130290
28 oz. Clear Plastic Trays - Treasured Harvest Label - Roasted & Salted Pistachios
Lot #123100, 122960, 123040
5 lb. Green Bag - Treasured Harvest Label - Roasted & Salted Pistachios
Lot #123550, 130020, 122920, 123380, 130070
5 lb. Box - Treasured Harvest Label - Raw, Shelled Pistachios
Lot # 131160, 131200, 131230, 131300, 131400, 131500
The recall is a voluntary recall of the Pistachio products processed by ARO Pistachio during the 2012 harvest year. The recall was initiated because the Recalled Product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Western Mixers is taking an extremely proactive approach to protecting the public by recalling the products at their facility during the timeframes subject of this recall to ensure public health and safety. While Western Mixers nor the FDA have found Salmonella in any of their finished products distributed in commerce, they are undertaking this action in full cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration and the California Department of Public Health. The company has ceased the production and distribution of this recalled product as FDA, ARO and Western Mixers continue with their investigations.
Consumers who have purchased Treasured Harvest and/or ARO Pistachios in reference to the above Lot numbers, are urged to destroy the product and/or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions may contact Western Mixers at: 877-230-8449, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 am (PST) and 2:00 pm (PST).

A Good Year for Farmers of Peanuts

In Georgia, wher
Amid worries over climate change, farm bill politics and a recent peanut butter recall, comes some good news from the peanut fields of the South. The crop is great this year!
In Georgia, where nearly half of the nation's peanuts are grown, the annual fall harvest has yielded a record amount of big, shell-filling kernels, that farmers say taste better than average. For peanut butter eaters, who saw a cost increase of 24% this year, the strong crop means prices should start falling as the year ends.
The yields are especially good in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Georgia, where the main crop is a variety called runner peanuts. Unlike Virginia-style peanuts that wind up being sold at ballparks or poured into bowls at cocktail parties, runner peanuts are the workhorses of the peanut world. They have a compact shape and a fine texture, which makes them ideal for peanut butter, oil and fillings for candy bars and other processed foods.
Although the harvest is just winding down, the national peanut crop report from October showed that more than 6.1 billion pounds will be harvested this year, compared with about 3.6 billion last year.
