US food store recalls pine nuts

WEGMANS Food Markets has recalled 5,000 pounds (2,260 kilograms) of pine nuts sold in the bulk foods department of its stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland after salmonella sickened 42 people.

The upscale grocery store chain says the pine nuts, imported from Turkey, were sold between July 1 and October 18.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 26 people were sickened in New York, eight in Pennsylvania, four in Virginia, two in New Jersey and one person each in Arizona and Maryland. People began getting sick on August 20 and two patients were hospitalized, according to the CDC.

No deaths have been linked to the outbreak. Salmonella bacteria can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
