The smallest package named in Hungary’s notice holds 50 grams. It is a retail-sized detail, and a useful boundary for a California pistachio audience: the warning concerns specific packaged goods, not a reported problem in an orchard.
The National Food Chain Safety Office, known as Nébih, told the Hungarian news agency MTI that the affected Kalifa products were found to contain aflatoxin. The report does not identify a California farm, handler, or processor.
A retail notice with named suppliers
The products originate in Iran. Gilan Trading Kft. manufactured them and is among the distributors, alongside SPAR Magyarország Kft. and Auchan Magyarország Kft., according to the recall report.
Nébih’s consumer warning covers shelled pistachios in 50- and 500-gram packages. A Hungarian report specifies the L50 and L51 lot codes and the listed best-before dates: December 5, 9, and 18, 2026, and February 18 and March 2, 2027 (lot details).
No California link is identified
The notice is directed at consumers in Hungary and asks them not to eat the specified products. Its available account does not connect the affected lots to California-grown pistachios or name a California business in the supply chain.
For California orchard operations, that distinction matters: the report offers no basis for changing field practices or treating local crop as implicated. A processor or exporter with a documented connection to the named brand or Hungarian distributors can use the Nébih recall page to check the notice against its own lot and customer records.
