FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Federal food safety officials are warning consumers to stop eating all foods containing pistachios while they figure out the source of a possible salmonella contamination.

The Food and Drug Administration said Monday that central California-based Setton Farms is voluntarily recalling more than 1 million pounds of nuts.

No illnesses have been reported, but the plant has been shut down voluntarily since late last week.
