Canadians are told not to eat pistachios imported from Iran, and the CFIA implemented a ban on imports from the country in September, stating measures would remain in place as the investigation continues.

Illnesses have been reported in six provinces, including 88 in Quebec and 74 in Ontario, along with British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and New Brunswick.

Most people who become ill recover fully on their own, but a salmonella infection can be serious for young children and people over 60, those with weakened immune systems and pregnant women. Common symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, fever and chills.
