Nuts – Oregon Hazelnuts Recalled Due to Salmonella

Lynne Terry of The Oregonian reports that Canadian authorities have issued several recall notices this month for hazelnuts from Oregon.

The nuts, which were shipped in-shell, were potentially contaminated with Salmonella, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Linda LeBlanc, an agency spokeswoman, said they came from Hazelnut Growers of Oregon, a farmer-owned cooperative with a plant in Cornelius, Oregon.
