(West Des Moines)— Hy-Vee is part of a voluntary recall of bagged salads by a California company because of possible
contamination of listeria.
The Iowa-based grocery store says the recall is by River Ranch Fresh Foods of Salinas, Calif.
Hy-Vee says the possible contamination was found during routine
tests by the Ohio Department of Agriculture in a bagged salad product for the Giant Eagle chain, based in Pittsburg.
River Ranch issued the recall for Giant Eagle Farmers Market brand salads and Hy-Vee salads produced at its plant on Sept. 27.
The products carry a “best by” date of Oct. 14.
Hy-Vee says four varieties of Hy-Vee bagged salads are covered by the recall.
The company says all affected products have been
removed from the stores but customers should check their refrigerators.
