SAN ANTONIO – A voluntary recall has been issued for certain H-E-B single-serving soups made with vegetable products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, H-E-B announced Friday.

"Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems," H-E-B said. "Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women."

H-E-B officials said there have not been any reports of illness regarding the H-E-B soups made with product supplied by Mann Packing.

All product has been removed from H-E-B stores, officials said. H-E-B is asking customers who may have purchased one of these products to return it to their nearest H-E-B store for a full refund.

Officials said the recall affects product sold in H-E-B stores in Texas, including the following:

  • H-E-B Asian Noodle Cup Beef, with UPC: 26010400000
  • H-E-B Asian Noddle Cup Chicken, with UPC: 26010100000

Customers who purchased the affected products can return the products to the store for a full refund, officials said.
