good grief. yet another salmonella outbreak.

FDA: Avoid pistachios amid salmonella scare - Food safety- msnbc.com

I love pistachios! Bummer.....

I called Kraft today, as I just purchased two boxes of pistachio pudding to make a dessert for company this Sunday. She told me that they don't get theirs from that company , so I am hoping that is right. She took my number and said if she heard anything else she would get back to me before the weekend. I will probably err on the safe side and make something else!
