the usda approved a proposal by the almond board of california to pasteurize almonds sold to the public, after tracing cases of salmonellosis to almonds. the almond pasteurization program became mandatory for california companies in 2007. raw, untreated california almonds have not been available in the u.s. since then.





























california almonds labeled "raw" must be steam-pasteurized or chemically treated with propylene oxide (ppo). this does not apply to imported almonds or almonds sold from the grower directly to the consumer in small quantities. the treatment also is not required for raw almonds sold for export outside of north america.
