Don’t eat this pistachio nut butter sold at Walmart. It could make you very sick

A recent recall has been issued for a pistachio nut butter sold at Walmart stores across 19 states. The product, manufactured in Italy and imported by Botticelli Foods, contained possible salmonella contamination. The recall was prompted after three jars tested by Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services on July 17 were found to be contaminated.

Symptoms of a salmonella infection include stomach cramps, diarrhea, and in severe cases, death. Those at higher risk are individuals with weakened immune systems, young children, older adults, and those with underlying health conditions. The recalled product, sold under Walmart's private label Bettergoods, is a 6.7-ounce pistachio nut butter with a UPC of 194346207961 and an expiration date of January 28, 2027.

Consumers with the recalled product should not consume it and should return it to the store for a refund.
