On Friday, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced a recall of specific brands of pistachios in British Columbia due to potential contamination with Salmonella. The recall affects two products: Pistachio In-Shell Lime and Saffron, which was sold without a label, and Persian Style Pistachios with Saffron. Both products were available in a range of sizes during specified sale periods.

The **Pistachio In-Shell Lime and Saffron** was sold between **September 5 and September 19, 2025**, while the **Persian Style Pistachios** were on the market from **August 28 to October 11, 2025**. The product codes for the Persian Style Pistachios are **#7081** and **#7080**. This precautionary measure was initiated following a CFIA test result that indicated the possibility of contamination.

To date, no illnesses related to this recall have been reported. Consumers who possess the affected products are advised not to consume them. Instead, they should return the pistachios to the place of purchase or dispose of them safely. The CFIA emphasizes the importance of contacting a healthcare provider if any health issues arise after eating the recalled pistachios.
