What is this? A batch of pistachios still in their shells has too much aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a mold poison that can make you sick.
What's happening? Italy found these pistachios from Iran have unsafe levels of aflatoxin. The nuts were stopped at the border.
Does this affect me? Only if you bought these pistachios in Italy. Most stores have already pulled them.
What should I do? Throw them away. If you feel sick after eating them, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
