Hy-Vee recalls candy trays for possible salmonella contamination

MADISON, Wis. — Hy-Vee is voluntarily recalling several candy trays because they may be contaminated with salmonella, according to a release.

The potential for the contamination was brought to the company’s attention when Palmer Candy Company announced a limited recall of certain chocolate products after its supplier, Valley Milk Products, notified them that a milk powder used in the chocolate coating may be contaminated.

The recall includes selected products produced between Oct. 20, 2016 and Dec. 9, 2016.

The candy trays were distributed to all of Hy-Vee’s 242 grocery stores, including stores in Wisconsin, according to the release. The product comes in a plastic container with a clear lid, and a sell-by date ranging between Jan. 26, 2017 and Feb. 23, 2017.
