A salmonella outbreak from pistachios sickened 117 in Canada, with 17 hospitalized, linked to recalled brands.
A salmonella outbreak tied to pistachios and pistachio-containing products has sickened 117 people across six Canadian provinces, with 17 hospitalized, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Illnesses occurred between March and September and are linked to products like Habibi brand pistachios and Dubai brand Pistachio & Knafeh Milk Chocolate, both recalled.
Cases were reported in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, with most in Quebec and Ontario.
Experts say the true number of cases is likely much higher due to underreporting.
Traceability issues in mixed products remain a concern, and U.S. and Australian pistachios may be safer due to better tracking.
The investigation is ongoing, and consumers are advised to avoid recalled items.
This follows a separate, now-closed salmonella outbreak linked to salami and cacciatore.
