H-E-B Issues Baby Food Recall

(SAN ANTONIO) – H-E-B announced today that it has issued a recall of its entire H-E-B Baby Food line, including Mom's Choice Organic Baby Food. As of this afternoon, all H-E-B baby food product was removed from shelves due to a few customer reports of pieces of glass being found inside the baby food jars of H-E-B peas, carrots and applesauce.

According to Winnell Herron, H-E-B Group Vice-President of Public Affairs, there have been no reports of injuries associated with the incidents, however the company is taking the issue very seriously and taking all necessary precautions.

"Though these reports have been isolated to just a few products in the H-E-B baby food line, as a company, we are committed to absolute and complete food safety. As a result of that commitment, coupled with the fact that we are dealing with a children's product, we have made the decision to pull all of our H-E-B baby food from our shelves," said Winell Herron, H-E-B Group Vice President of Public Affairs.

Herron went on to say that H-E-B will launch a full investigation into the incidents and work closely with its H-E-B baby food suppliers to ensure all safety measures are being taken when manufacturing the product.

H-E-B is encouraging anyone who has any H-E-B baby food or Mom's Organic Choice baby food product in their pantries to be sure to remove it and take it to their nearest H-E-B store for a full refund.
