“The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced that a tainted batch of pistachio cream has put at least one person in the hospital and sickened four across two states. The CDC reports that Emek-brand pistachio cream, with a use-by date of October 19, 2026, is connected to an outbreak of salmonella infections. Three people have reportedly been sickened by the contaminated food in Minnesota, with a fourth in New Jersey. The first two victims to fall ill were dated in March, the other two in May. The data released does not indicate if the sole New Jersey victim was among the two first to contract the ailment or the last.” (06/16/25)
