Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hy-Vee Stores Inc. has recalled approximately 241 packages of its Short Cuts brand Grill Ready Veggie Mix and Pot Roast Mix because an ingredient used in these products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were sold by weight in approximately 1 lb containers at Hy-Vee grocery stores across eight states. Consumers who have purchased these items should not eat them and should instead return them to the store for a full refund or dispose of them.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
