mood: crampy

I've narrowed the source of my (Sunday onset) food poisoning to these suspects:

Pistachios-
(timeline- early Friday evening)
I knew a 10oz bag for $2 was too good to be true (I bought 2!- I ate one whole bag on Friday. I know- so gluttony).

Tequila Lime Salsa (Pace)
(Timeline- really late Friday with some whiskey and frozen buritos, zuked about 3AM)
It was pretty old (6 weeks?)- and I get a bit nauseous just thinking about it.

Chineese food-
(timeline- Saturday afternoon)
Oh no's, not my favorite Chineese place (I refuse to believe it).

Matt,

Thank you for contacting Wonderful concerning pistachios processed and packaged by Paramount Farms.

The FDA has announced a nationwide voluntary recall of pistachios from Setton Farms cautioning consumers to avoid eating pistachios until further notice. Paramount Farms is not part of this recall, and we believe our products are safe. We have stringent quality control procedures in place, and our products consistently exceed USDA specifications.

We are committed to producing only the highest quality products and the health and well-being of consumers who enjoy our pistachios is our foremost concern. Consistent with this commitment and in light of the current situation, we are testing all products in our inventory and are committed to testing all pistachio shipments going forward as a further precautionary measure.

For more information about the voluntary recall by Setton Farms, visit www.fda.gov/pistachios/ . Information can also be found at the California Department of Public Health at www.cdph.ca.gov/Pages/default.aspx .
