FED: Nut recall follows US salmonella scare

SYDNEY, April 9 AAP - An Australian company is pulling its range of pistachio nut-based
products off store shelves, after a salmonella scare hit its American supplier.

South Australia-based Nocelle Foods is conducting a voluntary recall of its nut and
yoghurt products. A company spokesman said it was a precautionary move and no Australians
had fallen ill.

"This voluntary recall is being undertaken to ensure the safety of our customers, as
an ongoing commitment to maintain the highest possible standards of safety and product
quality at all times," the spokesman said in a statement.

The recall takes in all packets of "Natures Delight Pistachios" along with "Setton
Farms"-brand bulk boxes of salted nuts or kernels.

Pistachio products sold under "The Market Grocer" label are also withdrawn including
its pistachio, cranberry and honey yoghurt.

Supa Barn Cranberry, Pistachio, Honey and Yoghurt is also recalled.

"Consumers are asked not to consume this product," the spokesman said.

"If consumers know they have the affected product they should return it to the place
of purchase for a full refund."
