Hy Vee potato salad is being withdrawn from stores for possible contamination. A presumptive positive microbial test result was found on the line that processes the potatoes. The press release did not state which pathogen may be the cause of the positive test.
All potato salad varieties that the company sells are included in this recall. The final test results are not expected for about a week, but out of an abundance of caution the company is withdrawing the salad.
The recalled product includes all varieties and sizes of Hy-Vee Potato Salad and Mealtime potato salad sold from the grab-and-go refrigerated cases and/or deli service cases in all Hy Vee, Hy-Vee Drugstore, and Dollar Fresh convenience stores.
