Recalled food
On May 13, 2025, FDA and CDC issued an advisory for a 5-kilogram white tub of Emek-brand Pistachio Cream with a use-by date of October 19, 2026, and production code PNO: 241019. On July 14, 2025, World Market voluntarily recalled Emek Spread Pistachio Cacao Cream with Kadayif due to potential contamination with Salmonella. Both of these pistachio cream products are no longer available for sale.
What you should do
Always follow the four steps to food safety to prevent getting sick from Salmonella.
- Clean: Wash your hands, utensils, and surfaces often. Rinse fruits and vegetables under running water before eating, cutting, or peeling.
- Separate: Keep food that won't be cooked separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood.
- Cook: Use a food thermometer to make sure you have cooked your food to a temperature high enough to kill germs.
- Chill: Refrigerate perishable food (food that goes bad) within 2 hours. If the food is exposed to temperatures above 90°F (like a hot car or picnic), refrigerate it within 1 hour. Thaw food in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
What businesses should do
- Wash and sanitize items and surfaces that may have come in contact with the recalled pistachio cream.
- Follow FDA's safe handling and cleaning recommendations when cleaning and sanitizing surfaces and containers that may have come into contact with products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Symptoms of Salmonella
- Most people infected with Salmonella experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.
- Symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria.
- Most people recover without treatment after 4 to 7 days.
- Some people—especially children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems—may experience more severe illnesses that require medical treatment or hospitalization.
