Hy-Vee issues consumer warning on onion recall

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

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – On Friday Hy-Vee announced a consumer advisory regarding the nationwide onion recall in a press release.

If you bought onions from Hy-Vee between Aug. 13 and Sept. 1, 2021, they could potentially be impacted by the recall.

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

The grocery store chain was notified by its supplier Capitol City Fruit that back in August the grocer has received a shipment of onions is part of the recall.

These onions are no longer available at any Hy-Vee stores, but consumers may have products remaining at their homes.

It is suggested that these products are discarded or returned to their local Hy-vee store for a full refund.

Consumers with questions may contact Hy-Vee Customer Care at 1-800-772-4098 and find additional information on the recall on the FDA website.
