Federal health officials are investigating a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections tied to a Turkish-made pistachio cream product.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that three people in Minnesota and one in New Jersey fell ill between March 10 and May 19. One person has been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
The pistachio cream was manufactured by Emek Dogal Saglik Urunleri Iklim Gida Insaat San Tic Ltd Sti in Turkey and imported into the United States. It has a use-by date of Oct. 19, 2026. The shelf-stable nut butter cream is primarily sold online for wholesale distributors, restaurants, and food service locations nationwide.
Consumers and businesses are urged not to eat, sell, or serve the product with the production code 241019. As of Friday, no recall has been issued.
Common symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, typically developing six hours to six days after exposure.
The CDC advises anyone experiencing high fever, prolonged diarrhea, bloody stool, or dehydration after consuming pistachio cream to seek medical attention.
