[Guest guest]

4/6/2007 - All almonds originating from California will have to comply with

strict new

pasteurization regulations, implemented last week by the US Department of

Agriculture

(USDA) in response to recent salmonella outbreaks.

With mandatory compliance set for September 1 2007, the new regulations mean

that no

almonds may be handled or used in processed goods unless they meet the

pasteurization

requirements.
