Hy-Vee stores remove Zantac from shelves after FDA warning

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa - Hy-Vee stores will temporarily stop selling certain acid-reducing drugs after a notice issued by the Food and Drug Administration.

Ranitidine, which is sold under the brand name Zantac and other generics, was part of a product alert from the FDA that said the drug could contain a probable human carcinogen.

Hy-Vee said they will remove the drug from its stores, which it sells under the Zantac and TopCare labels.

Customers who purchased any of those products can return them to the store for a full refund.
