Salmonella has been found in a small sample of a shipment of about 1 million pounds of nuts that went to more than a dozen distributors. The FDA suggests not eating any pistachios you have on hand, until it is determined if they are part of any potential recall.

The cause of the contamination is unknown at present, but the most common cause of salmonella contamination is washing produce with contaminated water. Salmonella is endemic in much California surface water, and many pistachios come from California.
