It’s an increase of one hospitalization and 12 illnesses within about a month, with most cases concentrated in Ontario and Quebec. The agency also writes that these are only the confirmed cases, and many more people have likely been infected with salmonella but didn’t report it. In late September, the CFIA announced a ban on pistachios and pistachio products imported from Iran as a precaution. Updates on the investigation and details about how to protect your health are available online from PHAC.
