The FDA announced that Barcelona Nut Company of Baltimore, Maryland recalled 239 cases of roasted and salted in-shell pistachios because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The roasted and salted in-shell pistachios were distributed in Washington D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, California, Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey, and Georgia through retail stores and direct delivery. No illnesses have been reported to date. Barcelona Nut Company’s processor and supplier, ARO, voluntarily initiated the recall after a separate and unaffiliated manufacturer performed a routine test which revealed salmonella. Since Barcelona Nut Company received product from the same lot, it was necessary to take precautions. Barcelona Nut Company has ceased the production and distribution of this particular lot of roasted and salted in shell pistachios as the FDA and the companies involved continue their investigation. @ https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm625001.htm

According to the lawsuits brought by United’s former senior manager of food safety, Marcia Lee, General Manager of the Newark catering facility Eliot Mosby, and Newark Food Safety Manager Gustavo Moya United Airlines failed to address critical food safety issues at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, endangered passengers and retaliated against employees for speaking up. The airline did not address persistent maintenance issues at its catering facility at Newark airport, which allowed the spread of Listeria monocytogenes. The lawsuits are seeking damages of $7.5 million. United denied these allegations and said the lawsuits were without merit. Additionally, United told CNBC it is unaware of any foodborne illnesses confirmed to be linked to any food served on its flights and is currently cleaning and repairing several areas of the Newark facility as part of routine maintenance. In November 2017, USDA recalled some chicken and pork products produced at United’s Denver catering operation after the facility notified regulators that one of its products had tested positive for L. mono. In August 2018, a news organization reported that United had found Listeria at its Newark location. At the time, United said it found Listeria in its cooler but noted Listeria had not been found in food served to its customers or on food-contact surfaces. @ https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/29/united-airlines-mishandled-listeria-contamination-lawsuits-claim.html
Lawsuits filed by three high-level managers claim United put passengers at risk.
