There is a call for better quality control in food processing, particularly in light of past issues with contaminated products. Despite the warnings, many participants express a strong affection for pistachios and a willingness to take risks regarding their consumption.

Calif. nut plant: Kraft found salmonella in 2008
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090403/ap_on_re_us/salmonella_pistachios

FRESNO, Calif. – A company at the heart of a nationwide pistachio recall said Friday that Kraft Foods Inc. detected salmonella in its pistachios more than six months ago but didn't report the finding until last week.

Lee Cohen, a New York plant production manager for Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc., said Kraft told them on March 24 that the tainted nuts were found in a mixed snack blend that also contained salmonella-tainted cherries.

Kraft spokeswoman Susan Davison said manufacturer Georgia Nut Co. first found the bacteria in its Kraft Back to Nature Nantucket Blend trail mix in September 2008, but it took more than six months of testing to determine what caused the contamination.
