What is this? Some pistachios from Turkey have a harmful mold called aflatoxin. Too much aflatoxin can make you sick.
What's happening? The pistachios were stopped at the border because they had too much aflatoxin. They should not be sold in stores.
Does this affect me? If you bought pistachios from Turkey recently, check the package. If it says "recalled," do not eat them.
What should I do? Throw away any pistachios from Turkey. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel sick after eating them.
