Costco

I've been taking sandwich bags of pistachios to work to munch on between meals; I was enjoying a small bowl of pistachios on Tuesday while working. I get home that evening and there's a letter from Costco on the table from the mail Doug brought in. It was something to the effect:

Our records indicate you purchased pistachios between (whatever dates). Please be advised that we are doing a voluntary recall due to E. coli.

The letter goes on and mentions a SKU # to check on our bag. I'm thinking, "What are the chances our SKU matches the SKU in this letter?! Really. How many bags have they sold and how many SKU's have gone through Costco?" Well. I can tell you the chances were VERY GOOD! The SKU #'s matched. Luckily we haven't gotten sick, but I have to tell you that I'm very impressed with Costco for sending these letters out to their customers.

I have a bag of pistachios if anyone wants it!!! Actually Costco will give us a full refund if we bring the bag back.

Our family LOVES the pistachios from Costco! We will all sometimes eat them in one day. Granted there are 12 of us eating them lol. :) Happy times...

eating a sammy bag of nuts isn't the best snack in the world... the fat content alone....i'm glad you were not infected with EColi.

that's awesome that costco send that letter. scares me though because since i pay everything online i rarely check my mail. the guys at the ups store always call me and ask me to pick it up and since i refuse they laugh.

Thanks everyone! I'm a fibber though. It was Salmonella, not E. coli. Either way, I don't want it.
