In a precautionary move, a recall has been issued for Hill Country Fare potato salad sold at H-E-B and Joe V's Smart Shop locations in Texas. The recall comes after it was discovered that the 48-ounce, 3-pound potato salad, produced by Reser's Fine Foods, may contain pieces of hard plastic.

Reser's Fine Foods, which operates a regional facility, took the voluntary decision to recall potato salad with a use-by date of July 26. So far, no injuries have been reported in connection to the potentially contaminated product.

H-E-B, the retailer stocking the potato salad, promptly removed all affected products from their shelves upon learning about the potential risk. Customers who have purchased the product are advised to either return it to the store for a full refund or throw it away.

The recall was issued on Tuesday, ensuring that consumers are made aware of the situation in a timely manner. It is crucial for customers to check the use-by date when examining the Hill Country Fare potato salad in their possession to determine whether it falls within the affected batch.

H-E-B is dedicated to ensuring the safety and satisfaction of its customers and is working closely with Reser's Fine Foods to rectify the situation. This incident serves as a reminder for consumers to remain vigilant and informed about product recalls to protect their health and well-being.
