Hy-Vee issues consumer advisory on recalled onions

Hy-Vee announced a consumer advisory Friday regarding a nationwide onion recall.

According to a company news release, Hy-Vee was recently notified by its supplier, Capitol City Fruit, that in August the grocer had received a shipment of onions that are part of the recall. The potentially impacted onions would have been sold at Hy-Vee stores between Aug. 13 and Sept. 1.

The only affected products sold at Hy-Vee stores were 3-pound bags of yellow onions.

The affected onions are no longer available at any Hy-Vee stores; however, consumers may have product remaining in storage or freezers, or in canned or frozen goods produced with the affected onions. Out of an abundance of caution, Hy-Vee is advising consumers to discard any affected product or return the product to their local Hy-Vee store for a full refund.

Additional information on the recall is available on the Food & Drug Administration’s webpage.
