HEB CUSTOMER CLAIMS A DISGUSTING HORSE FLY IN MEAT

Special to El Run-Rrun

On December 5, 2019, I went grocery shopping at HEB on Boca Chica Blvd and Central Blvd. After getting everything I needed, I went to pay at the counter. 

After arriving home, I started to put away my groceries, and to my disgust, I saw that one of the plastic wrapped meat package had a live fly inside. My God! How is it possible that the fly went unseen? My God! Doesn't the meat employees inspect the meat packages before it goes out to HEB customers? 

 Researchers suspect that flies can harbor at least 65 illnesses that infect people. Some of the most common house fly diseases transmitted in the U.S. include food poisoning, dysentery, and diarrhea. With their diet of feces, trash, rotting produce, and spoiled meats, 

Horse flies constantly pick up pathogens. The insects then carry these germs and leave them behind wherever they land. The transfer process only takes a matter of seconds. 

I then went back to the store and spoke to the wet-behind-the-eat young Manager named JR. He apologized like a hundred times and then gave me the option of a refund or to get another meat. I chose a refund, because I had lost all trust in their meats. 

I let him know that I wanted to make a written report and get a respond back concerning what
will be done so this doesn't happened again. I gave my contact information to JR and he told me that HEB headquarters would be advised, and someone would get back to me. 

Well, it's been more than a month and I still haven't gotten a call back. I decided I will never buy my meats at any HEB anymore. HEB has lost my trust and hopefully this was just a one time mistake.


Montoya, please report this, so people can be more alert in checking their meats more carefully at HEB.

I once saw a fly inside the bakery enclosure, but I could understand how a fly could go in there...but in the meats that should never happen! Hopefully, someone got their ass fired!

I once saw a fly inside the pan dulces bakery enclosure and I can understand one going inside there, but inside the meats should never happen. I hope someone got fired for this!

For Mexicans, flies are "flavoring". What's the big deal? Not like it was a T-bone or New York Strip!

I can happily report that no one should have fear due to a horse fly carrying so many pathogens. The photo pictured a house fly, a completely different critter.

Back in the day people would buy from your neighborhood butcher, from the guy out in the boondocks who sold meat of a goat, a cow or a pig, made chicharrones out in the back yard and NOBODY complained, got ill or sued . I just saw an article about a young girl who just happened to like rainbows and asked for a rainbow cake. She got kicked out of her school because it a political statement in favor of LGBTQ community. It turns out she had no political motive, she just likes rainbows. My point and comparison? In 2020 and since 10 to 15 yrs ago, if you sneeze and someone is splashed, they complain, not because it is unsanitary, but because you did it to them. Did the person get sick? did the person see the fly when she opened the pack @ home or revised the pack BEFORE leaving the store? A PACKED meat should be revised when the customer is looking at the merchandise in the meat section. I DONT work for HEB nor do I shop @ that store but if the person wants to sue, they better be ready for a defamation suit and HEB probably has BETTER lawyers.

So what I see cockroaches at some "all you can eat" restaurants, nothing new here. The city health inspectors are out constructing new bike trails....

2:59@ Pendejo! the fly was not seen by customer or the counter clerk because the fly was hidden underneath the package white label. The question should be... Why didn't the meat inspector that packaged the meat see the fly??? I have a question for you! What would you have done if it had happened to you?
