FDA Eyes NY Firm In Pistachio Recall Probe

FRESNO (AP) ― A New York company tied to a nationwide pistachio recall says it has stopped shipping pistachios and addressed health and safety problems found inside its plant last month.

   The Food and Drug Administration is investigating Commack, N.Y.-based Setton International Foods Inc. as part of a salmonella scare involving its sister company, Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc.

   The central California firm earlier this week recalled 2 million pounds of nuts over fears of possible salmonella contamination.

   New York agricultural authorities found live and dead cockroaches and rodent droppings inside the Long Island plant.

   Setton production manager Lee Cohen says those conditions weren't related to the ongoing recall, and the plant is now spotless.
