Pistachio importer’s licence suspended


The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has suspended the licence of pistachio importer Alimentation du Canada Inc. of Laval, Que.

The CFIA said the company failed to implement the recall procedure for imported pistachio products, and failed to record any information demonstrating the effectiveness of the recall. 

Pistachios from Iran have been subjected to scores of recalls this year because of salmonella food-poisoning contamination.
