How do I get my local H-E-B store to add a product I like?
Fill out a Customer Service Survey either online at this site or in hard copy at your local H-E-B.

I would like to arrange my grocery list items so they correspond to their aisle location in the store. Where do I get a store map of my local H-E-B?
Store maps are available at the Business Services counter at your local H-E-B store. They offer an aisle-by-aisle guide to the categories of products available on the shelves.

As our stores expand and improve, some products may move to other locations in the store before the store maps are updated, so be sure to make a quick check of the signs hanging at each end of the aisles before you organize your grocery list.

Is H-E-B public stock available to purchase on the stock market?

How can H-E-B assure me that its fruits and vegetables do not contain unsafe levels of pesticide?
In 1989, H-E-B launched an aggressive program to test levels of pesticide residue in produce. The test involves pulling samples from approximately 30 loads of produce every week and screening them for over 150 different pesticides. We review the test results before the produce is shipped from our warehouse

Because of the program's high standards, H-E-B has earned a reputation within the produce-growing community as being very tough on pesticide residue. As a result, growers with questionable pesticide practices hesitate before offering their produce for sale to us. In fact, the percentage of incoming produce loads with illegal residues has dropped from 2.7 percent when the program started to less than 1 percent today—pretty good evidence that the program is working.

This program reflects our commitment to providing the highest quality and freshest produce every day to our customers.

What does the expiration date mean on a product?
H-E-B uses sell-by dates, use-by dates and expiration dates as a guideline for shoppers to determine the freshness of perishable products.

Sell-by Date—indicates how long we display a product on the shelf. To ensure you get the freshest product available, we recommend that you buy perishable items on or before the sell-by date.

Use-by Date—indicates the last date recommended for use of the product while it is still at peak quality. The product's quality and freshness is guaranteed only up to that date.

Expiration Date—indicates the last date that the product can be sold.

Remember, even if a product date expires during home storage, a product should be safe and of good quality as long as the safe handling and storage instructions printed on the label are followed.
