SAN ANTONIO – Some Texas shoppers have reportedly found contaminated eggs purchased from HEB stores across the state.
Over the past two weeks, at least three shoppers have taken to social media to report instances of mold found inside the eggs, with contamination found inside the eggs themselves.
The dates of the reports range from about two weeks ago, or as recently as today. Most of the reports are coming from the Austin metro area.
In a statement provided to the San Antonio Express-News, H-E-B said that the problem stems from “a quality issue with one of our egg suppliers’ small farms” and involved a “small number of eggs.”
The company did not disclose how many cartons or eggs were affected, although they did say that customers could return the affected cartons for a refund.
We’ve reached out for a statement from H-E-B on what lot numbers are affected and if a voluntary recall will be issued, but we have yet to hear back.
This is a developing story.
