If you picked up a salad kit at an H-E-B in Texas recently, it's worth a quick look at the date on the bag.
Taylor Farms is recalling one of its salad kits sold under the H-E-B label because it may contain soy and tree nuts that aren't listed on the packaging. The FDA published the notice on October 27.
What's Being Recalled
The recall covers the H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit, sold in 13.4-ounce plastic bags. It was distributed only to H-E-B stores in Texas, and no other Taylor Farms salad kits are part of this recall.
How to Tell if You Have It
Look for a best-if-used-by date of October 30, 2026, and the UPC 041220300457 on the package. The FDA has posted label images of the recalled product on its website if you want to compare.
Why It Was Recalled
The kit may contain soy and tree nuts, specifically almonds, that don't appear on the label. For people with allergies to either one, that can pose a risk of a serious, or even life-threatening, allergic reaction. This is a labeling issue rather than a sign that the salad is otherwise unsafe, and the company says it hasn't received any reports of reactions so far.
What to Do if You Have One
If you or anyone in your household has a soy or tree nut allergy, don't eat the salad kit. The recall notice says to throw it away or return it to the store for a full refund, and you don't need a receipt. If no one has those allergies, the labeling error doesn't pose a risk to you, but you can still return the kit if you'd prefer.
Who to Contact
For questions about the recall, call Taylor Farms at 855-455-0098, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific time.
The Takeaway
The recalled kits carry a best-by date of today, so they may be sitting in fridges right now. If you shop at H-E-B in Texas, take a minute to check yours, especially if you cook for someone with a food allergy.
