Turkish pine nuts sold in bulk at Wegmans, an upscale grocery-store chain, have been linked to a salmonella outbreak that sent two people to hospitals and sickened 40 others in five East Coast states and Arizona.
Wegmans Food Markets Inc. said Thursday it has recalled 5,000 pounds of pine nuts imported from Turkey by Sunrise Commodities of Englewood Cliffs, N.J. They were sold between July 1 and Oct. 18 at its stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland.
The Rochester, N.Y.-based chain said the recall applies only to Turkish pine nuts purchased in bulk. Wegmans placed automated calls to just over 13,000 customers who bought the nuts using the company's Shoppers Club discount card, spokeswoman Jo Natale said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 26 people were sickened in New York, eight in Pennsylvania, four in Virginia, two in New Jersey and one person each in Arizona and Maryland. The Food and Drug Administration said it is investigating.
The CDC said people began getting sick Aug. 20 and two patients were hospitalized in undisclosed locations. No deaths have been linked to the outbreak.
Federal officials said Wegmans has cooperated in all aspects of the recall and investigation.
Salmonella bacteria can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. In some cases, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized.

if we are, who's doing the poisoning, and why? Is this a secret plan Canadia's been putting in to effect since 1812 to take over the USA? or maybe Britania is trying to weaken this country so that one day the Union Jack will fly proudly over the New Brittish Empire?

And yes some are wait for it...Going to die. I wish God would have made a perfect world and the tooth ferry where are you?

Currently, the FDA does more harm than good. They are owned by Big Pharma. How else do you explain that the FDA has approved the Gardasil vaccination for young boys ~ boys do not have cervices! The Gardasil vaccination supposedly protects young girls against cervical cancer... complete lie. No, we should not dissolve the FDA, but it needs a complete housecleaning, it's completely corrupt. When the pharmaceutical companies need a big money maker, they collude with the FDA to make it happen.

All of our fruit in this country is lathered with pesticides.
The only safe fruit to eat are pineapples, watermelons, and grapefruit, because they have thick skins.
Otherwise, you need to buy organic fruit:
"A new report issued by the President’s Cancer Panel recommends eating produce without pesticides to reduce your risk of getting cancer and other diseases. And according to the Environmental Working Group (an organization of scientists, researchers and policymakers), certain types of organic produce can reduce the amount of toxins you consume on a daily basis by as much as 80 percent."

If you can't afford the extra cost, it is still better to eat the pesticide treated fruit than no fruit at all; have at least two servings a day.

It does seem a bit odd that there have been so many salmonella outbreaks in the United States here of late from so many different food sources. Is it because of better reporting or degrading sanitation in the processing ... Who knows ? I remember a time when eating vegetables was considered healthy, now I'm not so sure and with the nuts, both pine and peanut being recalled - one just doesn't know what to eat anymore.

Dr. Evil is at work again.
Honestly, I agree that nothing is perfect. There will always be problems with our foods when we are feeding such a large population of people. There are just bound to be some things that get missed. No doubt, some of it is due to corruption and perhaps trying to save a few bucks.
My only solution would be to get the TSA involved and let them feel the fruit and nuts since they have experience and love their jobs.
