Pistachio Salmonella? This can't be happening!

Salmonella on Pistachios? This is really, really bad. Especially for my family. We love that green nut very much. For the past year, we've been ingesting tons of pistachios in form of ice cream! Then, we'll learn that pistachios have Salmonella?!! I don't know how many food items will be affected by this ";[#@##*& Salmonella thing!

The salmonella scare in pistachios started last week when FDA received calls from a couple of persons complaining about gastrointestinal discomforts associated with the nuts.

Salmonella, the most common cause of food-borne illness, causes diarrhea, fever and cramping. Most people recover, but the infection can be life-threatening for children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
If this Salmonella Pistachios scare is true, all I can say is, THIS IS REALLY NUTS!!!
