Could Giant Eagle have gotten the pine nuts from Sunrise Commodities?

* *Again, thanks.

This is from one of the links. But there's no Wegmans in Ohio. * *The

I screwed up. * *I'm working on day 5 now. *And *I'm about 80%. I'm eating a

salmonella . *It took about 3 days to start. And nailed me fast. I went to

The salmonella bacteria can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to
72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, the
FDA said. While most people recover without treatment, infection may lead to
hospitalization and can be fatal. The bacteria is most dangerous to older
adults, infants and those with compromised immune systems, the FDA said.

We got hit by something last winter and wife figured it might have
been picked up at supermarket salad bar although store denies it.

While we would all like to eat raw, unprocessed food, it may be the
most likely bacteria vector.
Now we're avoiding salad bars where others than the food handlers may
have touched the food.
