Hy-Vee recalls products over possible contamination

(WAND) – Hy-Vee says it is recalling foods that could be contaminated and may cause people to get sick.

The company says six products are involved in the recall. Each of those products has caramelized mushrooms and fire-roasted tomatoes in them from supplier McCain Foods, which recently announced its own recall of those ingredients.

The possible contamination could involve salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. Salmonella can be deadly in young children, elderly people, frail people or those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Listeria monocytogenes can also be fatal to the same groups of people. It can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women, and can cause high fever and serious headaches, along with diarrhea, stiffness, nausea and abdominal pain, in healthy people.

Hy-Vee says its recall is “out of an abundance of caution”. The recall list includes:

  • Hy-Vee Bacon Wrapped Cowgirl Chicken Grillers – 8 ounce each, UPC Code 023092600000
  • Hy-Vee Fire Roasted Tomato, Spinach, Mozzarella Twice Baked Potato – 5 ounce each, UPC Code 023755400000 
  • Hy-Vee Cowgirl Chicken Griller Patty – 6 ounce each, UPC Code 023100200000
  • Hy-Vee Gourmet Steakhouse Mushroom & Swiss Burger – 6 ounce each, UPC Code 023168400000
  • Hy-Vee Ground Beef Sliders Mushroom & Swiss – 2 ounce each, UPC Code 023164300000
  • Hy-Vee Ground Beef Sliders Mushroom & Swiss – 12 count, 30 ounces, UPC Code 023266600000

Hy-Vee says there are no reported illnesses related to the products as of Thursday. People who bought them are asked to not eat the foods and instead throw them out or return them to Hy-Vee for a fun refund.
