"The Public Health Agency of Canada says the number of people confirmed sickened in a salmonella outbreak linked to pistachios has risen to 105. The outbreak update issued Wednesday reports 26 new cases since the last count earlier this month. It says 16 people have been hospitalized an increase of five since people started getting sick in early March. Illnesses continued into early September."
"The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued 26 recalls of pistachios and pistachio-containing products since July. Recalled products suspected of being contaminated by salmonella bacteria include certain brands of pistachio kernels, baklava, ice cream and chocolate. The public health agency says many more people beyond the confirmed cases have likely been infected with salmonella but didn't report it. It says symptoms can include a fever, chills, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps and a sudden headache."
