OLYMPIA — Washington health officials say pistachios sold under the brands of Wonderful, Paramount Farms and Trader Joe’s have been recalled in Washington state because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.

Nine states have reported having 11 people infected with Salmonella. Two of those people are from Washington state.

The recalled nuts from Wonderful Pistachios of Lost Hills, California, can be identified by a lot code number on the lower back or bottom panel of the package. A list of those numbers is available on the website of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The company has asked people to return the pistachios to the place where they purchased them for a refund.
