Des Moines-based Hy-Vee announced this weekend it is recalling 12 more of its packaged salads. The company said the salads may be contaminated with cyclospora. The latest Hy-Vee brand products to be recalled include:

The FDA says Fresh Express is the maker of the recalled salads. The products were distributed to Hy-Vee stores in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Customers can return any of these products to Hy-Vee for a full refund, or throw them away.

You may recall last week, KJAN told you Hy-Vee had recalled its Garden Salad variety for the same parasite. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention opened up an investigation into an outbreak linked to ALDI Little Salad Bar Brand Garden Salad from ALDI grocery stores, Hy-Vee Brand Garden Salad from Hy-Vee Grocery stores and Signature Farms Brand Garden Salad from Jewel-Osco.

The CDC says those infected will get sick within one week of becoming exposed. The symptoms include diarrhea, loss of appetite, fatigue, vomiting, body aches, headaches, fever, nausea and other flu-like symptoms.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Some Iowa bars and other businesses are voluntarily closing their doors amid an increase in confirmed coronavirus cases. Among them was the Artifacts antiques shop in Iowa City. Owner Todd Thelen told the Gazette that the store has seen three of its mostly older customers die because of the virus. Confirmed cases in the state increased by an additional 380 on Saturday, bringing the total to 27,935.

The state also reported three more deaths to bring the total to 704. Businesses that closed or limited operations at the beginning of the pandemic had started expanding operations as Gov. Kim Reynolds began easing restrictions.

WEST UNION, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines woman has been arrested in a 2-year-old hit-and-run crash that killed a 14-year-old on a moped. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Fayette County Sheriff Marty Fisher said 26-year-old Kelli Jo Michael, of Des Moines, was arrested Friday and charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident in the death of Kaiden Estling.

The teen from Maynard was struck in June 2018 while driving a moped along Iowa 150 about 2 1/2 miles south of Fayette. Michael is jailed on $50,000 cash only bond.

The latest data from the Iowa Department of Public Health shows a slight uptick in the number of positive coronavirus cases, as testing levels continue to rise in the state. One of the new cases reported was in Cass County, while 5 new cases were reported in Shelby County (see area county stats below). As of 10-a.m. today (Saturday), the IDPH said there were 380 new positive cases and three more deaths. That brings the statewide total to 27,935 positive cases and 704 deaths.
