Kingwood Shopper Warns of Pinhole Damage in H-E-B Cheese Sticks
A consumer in Kingwood, Texas, has issued a public warning after discovering what appear to be multiple pinhole perforations in a package of Sharp Cheddar snack sticks purchased from a local H-E-B grocery store. The incident, which occurred on October 10, 2025, has raised concerns about food safety and product integrity. The individual, who shared a video documenting the discovery, highlighted small, distinct marks visible on the cheese sticks and the surrounding plastic packaging. "Guys, make sure you check your food thoroughly before you buy it or eat it," the consumer stated in the video, emphasizing the importance of vigilance. The video shows clear close-ups of the cheese sticks, revealing the tiny holes that penetrate the product. The narrator expressed uncertainty regarding the cause of the damage, speculating, "I don't know if this was a machine defect or somebody deliberately did this." The consumer concluded with a stark warning: "You need to check your food. They could be poisoning your food." This incident serves as a reminder for all shoppers to inspect food packaging carefully before consumption to ensure product safety. H-E-B has not yet released a statement regarding this specific incident.
