There was a customer report about a small piece of rubber found inside a single container of one variety of the product, H-E-B officials said.
The company added that there have been no reports of injury or illness associated with the isolated incident. H-E-B said it is taking the issue very seriously and taking all necessary precautions.
"Though we have only received one report of a foreign material in H-E-B Baby Food 2-pack 4 oz. cups, as a company, we are committed to absolute and complete food safety," said Winell Herron, H-E-B Group vice president of public affairs, diversity and environmental affairs. "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 2-pack 4 oz. cups from our shelves."
H-E-B said it has launched a full investigation into the incident and is working closely with its H-E-B Baby Food manufacturer to ensure all safety measures are being taken when manufacturing the product.
The Food and Drug Administration was made aware of the recall, officials said.
H-E-B encourages customers who have any H-E-B Baby Food 2-pack 4 oz. cups in their pantries to return it to their nearest H-E-B store for a full refund, the company said.
