Iowa-Based Hy-Vee Is Recalling A Popular BBQ Side

Summertime is a time family and friends like to get together and grill out. One staple item of cookouts is typically potato salad but it may be something you want to skip for any upcoming outings.

Hy-Vee has recalled all its varieties of Potato Salad due to a possible positive microbial result on the line that processed the potatoes were on.  The results of the test are not expected for another seven to ten days due to the holiday weekend. Because of this, Food Safety News says that Hy-Vee has elected to withdraw the product from the shelves as they wait for the results.
