What is this? Some pistachios from the United States have too much mold poison called aflatoxin. This can happen in nuts that are not stored well.
What's happening? Italy and Turkey stopped some pistachios at the border because they had too much aflatoxin. These nuts came from the United States through Turkey.
Does this affect me? If you bought shelled pistachios from these places, you might have some at home. Check the package or ask the store where they came from.
What should I do? Do not eat them if you are not sure. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel sick after eating pistachios.
