Why are pistachios at the centre of so many recalls?

Pistachios are at the centre of dozens of recalls linked to a salmonella outbreak in Canada. A food safety expert says one of the reasons behind the recalls could be that they were imported from some countries that have less strict food safety standards.

Federal health officials have recalled more than 100 brands of pistachios and products containing the nuts, such as Dubai-style chocolate and pastries, due to potential salmonella contamination, since late July.

“I think there’s multiple layers to why this recall is dragging on for so long,” Amy Proulx, a former inspector with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), said in a video interview with CTVNews.ca on Thursday, citing food safety standards but also a lack of labelling indicating the origin of the products.Pistachios are mostly processed in the United States and Middle Eastern countries such as Syria, Iran and Turkiye, and food safety standards vary depending on the country, Proulx said.

“The United States has some incredibly strict and comprehensive food safety programs, whereas in the Middle East, the food safety programs are evolving and they’re improving, but they are still in progress in terms of their improvement,” said Proulx, a professor and academic program co-ordinator for the food innovation programs at Niagara College.
