Summary
A Texas woman bought ground beef from H-E-B and noticed it turned grey the next day. She posted a TikTok video asking if it was safe to eat. Viewers and an H-E-B employee said the color change indicated spoilage. H-E-B apologized and offered assistance. A food safety blog noted that grey meat may not be safe, depending on other factors. The Cleveland Clinic warns that spoiled meat can cause serious illness. H-E-B’s return policy allows exchanges or refunds within 90 days.
