Do I really need to throw out my bag of pistachios that I bought at the local co-op just 'cause there is a salmonella outbreak at some place

I didn't give up peanuts or peanut butter. The way I figured it, the stuff I had wasn't making me sick, so I kept eating it.

Too much paranoia these days.

No consumer PB was affected by the recall -- only wholesale stuff that companies bought and put into other products (ice cream, cookies, etc) or big vats of PB used at schools and nursing homes

I work at a bakery. We didn't use peanuts or peanut butter for a month (even though the company we get our products from was in the clear), so I understand.

My point was that if she'd been eating the pistachios before and not gotten sick, she was okay. Like I was (and my work was) with the peanut butter.

I agree that people are getting a little bit too tweaky. They'll be the first to starve to death when the apocalypse comes, cause they won't eat wild game.
Anyway, I doubt your pistachios were processed any where near the plants that had salmonella.
