Hy-Vee pulls potato salad from shelves for food safety concern
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Out of an abundance of caution, Hy-Vee, is voluntarily withdrawing all varieties and all sizes of its potato salads due to a presumptive positive microbial result on the line that the potatoes were processed on.
While final test results are not expected for approximately 7-10 days, due to the holiday weekend Hy-Vee elected to withdraw all products Friday from its shelves and service cases pending final test results.
The voluntary withdrawal includes all varieties and all sizes of Hy-Vee Potato Salad and Mealtime Potato Salad available from grab-and-go refrigerated cases and/or deli service cases in all Hy-Vee, Hy-Vee Drugstore and Dollar Fresh Market locations — as we well as Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh convenience stores — across the company’s eight-state region of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
The expiration dates are between July 31 and Aug. 4, 2022.
No other Hy-Vee or Mealtime branded salads are impacted. To date, there have been no reports of illness or complaints involving the products addressed in this withdrawal.
Customers who have purchased potato salad products are urged not to consume the product and dispose of it or return it to their local Hy-Vee for a full refund.
