Hy-Vee Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of several candy products because of potential salmonella contamination.

The West Des Moines, Iowa, grocer said a milk powder ingredient used in chocolate coating “had the potential” to be contaminated. The recall includes selected products produced and shipped by Palmer Candy Co. to Hy-Vee stores between Oct. 20 and Dec. 9.

The products, sold at all of Hy-Vee’s 242 stores in an eight-state area that includes Kansas and Missouri, was packaged in a plastic container with a clear lid. No illnesses have been reported in connection with these products, the company said.

The products can be returned to Hy-Vee stores for a full refund.
