Hy-Vee Withdraws Own Brand Potato Salads Following Potential Contamination

Iowa-based grocery chain Hy-Vee has announced a voluntary withdrawal of its Hy-Vee Potato Salad and Mealtime Potato Salad varieties. 

The withdrawal is 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, Hy-Vee elected to withdraw all products from its shelves and service cases on July 1 pending final test results ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend.

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, 2022, and Aug. 4, 2022.
