Hy-Vee Joins Kellogg's, King Nut, and PCA In Recalling Peanut Butter Products

By Marler Clark LLP

 Iowa-based Hy-Vee Inc. today recalled the following products made in its bakery departments because they contain peanut butter that has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella:

• Peanut Butter Cookies,
• Monster Cookies,
• Peanut Butter Reese's Pieces Cookies,
• Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies,
• Lunchbox Reese's Pieces Cookies,
• Lunchbox Peanut Butter Cookies,
• People Chow Party Mix
• and Assorted Truffle Fudge.

All sell-by dates are included in this recall. The products are sold in various packaging and quantities and have a Hy-Vee price label attached. All items should be destroyed or returned to Hy-Vee for a full refund.

Earlier Saturday, Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), the company that supplies bulk peanut butter to Hy-Vee, issued a recall of the peanut butter ingredient used to make the Hy-Vee bakery products.

King Nut and Kellogg's also have recalls out on their peanut butter products made with PCA ingredients.
