Hy-Vee announces another trail mix recall

HyVee logo smallHy-Vee has announced another recall of possibly tainted store-brand products. Hy-Vee is voluntarily recalling one of its salad toppings and six trail mix products across its eight-state region due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The company says it is recalling the products out of an abundance of caution. They include Hy-Vee Garden Style Salad Topping, Hy-Vee Trail Mix Bars, Hy-Vee Peanut Almond Dark Chocolate Protein Bars, Hy-Vee Caramel Cashew Honey Crunch Trail Mix, Hy-Vee Dark Chocolate Cranberry Trail Mix, Hy-Vee Raisin and Nut Trail Mix, and Hy-Vee Santa Fe Trail Mix. You can find more specific details in the company’s news release here.

The potential for contamination was discovered after Hy-Vee’s sunflower kernel supplier, SunOpta, announced they were recalling specific lots of sunflower kernels due to the potential for Listeria monocytogenes. The initial recall was limited to sunflower kernel products produced at SunOpta’s Crookston, Minnesota, facility; however, this week, the recall was expanded even further to include additional products supplied to Hy-Vee and other retailers across the United States.

As we reported earlier, Hy-Vee last month announced the recall of six other trail-mix products due to fears of possible Listeria contamination.

To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled products.

Customers who purchased any of these products should discard them or return them to their local Hy-Vee store for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Hy-Vee Customer Care representatives 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-800-772-4098.
