Hy-Vee recalls bagged salad

If you bought Hy-Vee bagged garden salad recently, don’t eat it.

The retailer is recalling all UPCs and expiration dates across its eight-state region, which includes South Dakota.

Manufacturer Fresh Express said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control are investigating an outbreak of Cyclospora in the upper Midwest.

In their investigation, they have identified certain products linked to the outbreak – including Fresh Express’ private label products at retailers across the country that were impacted – including one for Hy-Vee.

The recall is limited to 12 oz. Hy-Vee Bagged Garden Salad, all UPCs and expirations dates. No other Hy-Vee food items are impacted by this recall.

Hy-Vee has not received any reports of illness due to consumption of its Hy-Vee Bagged Garden Salad, the retailer said.

Customers who purchased this product should discard it or return it to their local Hy-Vee store for a full refund.

Symptoms of cyclosporiasis begin an average of seven days after ingestion of Cyclospora. Symptoms of cyclosporiasis may include: watery diarrhea (most common), loss of appetite, weight loss, cramping, bloating, increased gas, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, and low-grade fever. If not treated, symptoms can persist for several weeks to a month or more. People who are in poor health or who have weakened immune systems may be at higher risk for severe or prolonged illness.
