Shelled pistachios sold in Ontario recalled due to salmonella contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said Friday
that they are pulling Habibi branded Pistachio Kernels from establishments across Ontario and Quebec.
The government agency labelled it a 'Class 2' recall meaning there's a 'moderate risk that consuming the food may lead to short-term or non-life threatening health problems.'
Salmonella spreads through food and sickness comes in many forms, according to the CFIA. You might not get sick but symptoms generally start six to 72 hours after being exposed. Most people get chills, a fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps or a sudden headache.
Usually the symptoms will end in four to seven days though some get hit with more serious sickness that requires hospital care or could even lead to death, the government agency warns.
The recalled Habibi pistachios come in 10-kilogram packages and have a universal product of code '70847446000626,' and a lot number of '361.24IR41 B.B. JAN 2027.'

American Billionaire Says He's Willing to Help BC Ostrich Farm Battle Cull Order If Asked
An American billionaire has stepped forward in support of a B.C. ostrich farm facing the ordered cull of nearly 400 birds after an avian flu outbreak at the farm last winter, offering to help fund the farm's legal battle and calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to help reverse the decision. John Catsimatidis, a U.S. business magnate, said in a July 30 interview with The Epoch Times that he's willing to contribute financially to Universal Ostrich Farms (UOF), which has launched legal action to stop the cull order, and to rally others to do the same if asked. 'Everybody feels bad for [the farm owners], and we want to do whatever we can do,' Catsimatidis said. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is 'treating [the ostriches] like poultry, and they're not poultry. They're iconic, ancient animals,' he added. UOF, located in Edgewood, B.C., was ordered by the CFIA to cull its flock of ostriches after cases of H5N1 avian flu killed 69 birds last December. The farm has said it opposes the cull order as the remainder of its herd is now immune to H5N1 and is being used for scientific research. Spokesperson Katie Pasitney, the daughter of UOF co-owner Karen Espersen, said the farm is currently about $500,000 in debt, and while she 'was crying' over Catsimatidis's generosity in being open to contributing financially, she doesn't want people to get the impression the farm is financially secure and no longer needs donations.
