    AS A PERSON WHO GREW UP ON FARMS AND LIVED IN FLA WHERE PICKERS ABOUND.
    PICKERS AR KNOWN TO DEFICATE IN FIELDS.
    AN D NOT WASH HANDS WHEN PICKING.
    IT COULD BE MANY ISSUES.

    If they are organic, the farm could have been using manure for fertilizer. This one of the common dangers with organic produce. If you are not using a walnut harvester, you typically knock the walnuts from the tree and pick them up from the ground. There is your possible source for contamination.

      It’s certainly possible that the improper use of manure as fertilizer caused the walnuts to contain e.coli, but it’s much more likely that it came from processing the nuts. There are very strict standards for the use of manure on crops - basically it has to be composted or processed until it is pathogen-free.

    Children should not be eating any that you do not roast or bake in some dish. Roasted and salted would eliminate the risk. The farm source more likely comes from the humans who are not washing their hands than from deer. Adults have a great deal more immunity to eColi and are not as severely affected usually.

    When I buy whole nuts (with their shell) like walnuts, pecan, almonds, I wash them (the ones that I am going to eat) with soapy water, dry them and then open them up myself, I use a "molcajete" (mortar). When I get those nuts and other without their shell I always toast them.

      Because things like seed oils, HFCS, cane sugar, fake heme and grains kill you slowly.
      It takes 6 years for seed oils to triple your risk for cancer. So the people making massive profits off the garbage can cover up the damage.
