Time to check the refrigerator.

West Des Moines Iowa based HY-VEE is pulling cheesecakes made with Diamond Crystal Brands cheesecake mix off the shelves after the supplier sent a letter to the grocer about the potential the mix may be contaminated with Salmonella.

The recall includes 32 varieties of cheesecakes in both 8-ounce and 32-ounce packages with best if used by dates of Dec. 6, 2018, through Jan. 11, 2019. The expiration date can be found on the label.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The mixture was distributed to 117 of Hy-Vee’s 249 grocery stores across its eight-state region of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Customers who purchased any of these products should dispose of them or return them to their local Hy-Vee store for a full refund.
