What would we do without efoodalert?

- Food Safety Recall: Hoop Nuts LLC, dba Christophers Nut Co. (Van Nuys, CA) recalls ARO Pistachio / Orandi Farms Pistachio Halves ‘n’ Pieces dry roasted pistachios (30-lb boxes; Lot #1-121213), due to Salmonella contamination. The recalled product was distributed in California.
I received this email this morning:
I am attaching the link to the FDA food recall page for you to peruse and see there is NO recall nor will there be regarding ARO Pistachios, Inc. and Orandi Ranch. Nor has there ever been in the 40+ years of our operations.
To be very clear: the initiative will not advance to a recall. The FDA inspection has fully concluded, cleared any accusations, and commended our safety protocol. There was an initiative and that testing for salmonella performed by the FDA resulted in NEGATIVE findings.
Please proceed with rectifying your articles on your sites and channels for which you are responsible concerning this matter. We are a small family owned-and-operated pistachio ranch with an on-site processing plant that we oversee with hands-on quality control and stewardship of our orchards. Our intention and commitment have always been to cultivate the best product possible. We take great strides to uphold our quality control and safety standards.
