Another Recall by An Irresponsible Company
An FDA inspection report disclosed that Setton Farms, the full service provider of pistachios, nuts, dried fruit, edible seed, chocolate and candy to the snack food industry, and center of a salmonella scare, “knew some of its pistachios were tainted but continued shipping nuts for another six months”.
The inspection report revealed Setton got results in October showing some of its roasted nuts tested positive for salmonella. But, officials said, “it didn’t make proper adjustments to its processing procedures and kept shipping out nuts”.
“We pride ourselves,” says Setton on its website, “in our ability to consistently provide the highest quality products to our customers.”
