Hy-Vee has recalled its over-the-counter Zantac brand and Topcare brand ranitidine products.
The recall is due to a recent industry-wide product alert from the US Food and Drug Administration that the products may contain a low level of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
Officials say the FDA is continuing to evaluate whether the low levels of NDMA pose a risk to patients.
The official recall will affect Topcare 75mg ranitidine products; no other Zantac brand products and Topcare brand products are included in the recall.
Customers who purchased the products can return them to Hy-Vee for a full refund.
Ranitidine is an H2 blocker that is taken for heartburn relief.
