Des Moines-based Hy-Vee announced this weekend it is recalling 12 more of its packaged salads. The company said the salads may be contaminated with cyclospora. The latest Hy-Vee brand products to be recalled include:

  • Hy-Vee Southwest Chopped Salad Kit (13.4 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Shredded Iceberg (8 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Veggie Deluxe Salad (12 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Greener Supreme Blend (12 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee American Blend Salad (12 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Italian Blend Salad (10 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Coleslaw Mix (16 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Romaine Garden Salad (12 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Asian Chopped Salad Kit (13.7 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Sunflower Chopped Salad Kit (13.2 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Chipotle Cheddar Chopped Kit (11.4 oz.)
  • Hy-Vee Garden Salad (12 oz.) *recalled last week
  • Hy-Vee Avocado Ranch Chopped Kit (12.8 oz.)

The FDA says Fresh Express is the maker of the recalled salads. The products were distributed to Hy-Vee stores in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Customers can return any of these products to Hy-Vee for a full refund, or throw them away.

You may recall last week, KJAN told you Hy-Vee had recalled its Garden Salad variety for the same parasite. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention opened up an investigation into an outbreak linked to ALDI Little Salad Bar Brand Garden Salad from ALDI grocery stores, Hy-Vee Brand Garden Salad from Hy-Vee Grocery stores and Signature Farms Brand Garden Salad from Jewel-Osco.

The CDC says those infected will get sick within one week of becoming exposed. The symptoms include diarrhea, loss of appetite, fatigue, vomiting, body aches, headaches, fever, nausea and other flu-like symptoms.
