CONFESSIONS OF A PRISON COOK: A FUSION OF FOOD & CRIME

"Dubai" brand Pistachio & Knafeh Milk Chocolate and related pistachio products have been recalled in Canada and the U.S. due to  Salmonella contamination  linked to a significant foodborne illness outbreak, with illnesses reported across Canada and at least one hospitalization in the U.S.. The outbreak is linked to the  pistachios  used in the products, which can be contaminated before or during harvest or processing.  As of September 2025, there have been hundreds of cases reported in Canada, and the FDA escalated a recall for a popular pistachio-cocoa spread sold under the Dubai brand name to a Class 1 alert, its highest level. In 2016, California nut farmers  found a massive increase in  complex and highly organized  operations  that focus on  stealing large shipments of # pistachios, #cashews, #almonds  and  other sought after #nuts.
