Following two salmonella outbreaks that were traced back to almonds, the Californian almond industry has been told that they must pasteurize their nuts.

Glen Anderson is a 72 year old organic pioneer farmer whose farm has been in his family since 1912. He is convinced that folk don't want anybody tampering with their nuts. He said that new legislation, which came into force on September 1st, was "being shoved down all of our throats."

A little hard to swallow, eh?
