H-E-B Salad Kit Sold in Texas Recalled Over Possible Undeclared Soy and Almonds
Texas shoppers should check their refrigerators and recent grocery purchases for a specific H-E-B salad kit recalled over possible undeclared soy and tree nuts, specifically almonds.
Taylor Farms of Dallas, Texas, announced the recall on October 27, 2026. The affected product was distributed to H-E-B stores in Texas, and the company says customers who purchased a matching package should not consume it.
The recall applies to one specific salad kit, so shoppers should check the product name, package size, date, and UPC rather than assuming every H-E-B salad is affected.
Check these four details first
The recalled product is the H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit.
It comes in a 13.4-ounce plastic bag and carries a Best If Used By date of October 30, 2026. The UPC is 041220300457.
Those details are the quickest way for shoppers to determine whether the product in question matches the recall notice. The notice does not identify individual H-E-B stores or cities, so the verified information supports a Texas-wide distribution area rather than a list of specific locations.
The October 30 date has already passed, but the product identifiers remain important for anyone checking a bag that may still be on hand.
Why Taylor Farms recalled the salad kit
According to the company’s October 27 announcement, the salad kit may contain soy and tree nuts, specifically almonds, that were not declared on the product labeling.
Taylor Farms said the recall was initiated because of the possible undeclared allergens. The company stated that people with a sensitivity or allergy to soy or almonds may be at risk of a serious adverse reaction if they consume the product.
No adverse reactions had been reported as of October 27, when the company announced the recall.
That date is important because the statement reflects the information available when Taylor Farms issued the notice. It does not establish what may have happened after the announcement.
What shoppers should do with a matching bag
Taylor Farms says customers who purchased the affected product should not consume it.
The company’s instructions are straightforward: the impacted product should either be disposed of or returned to the store for a full refund.
Shoppers do not need to assume that every salad kit from H-E-B is part of the recall. The notice identifies the Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit, its 13.4-ounce package size, October 30, 2026, Best If Used By date, and the specific UPC.
Checking all of those details can help distinguish the recalled product from other H-E-B salad products.
The recall covers Texas distribution
The company identified H-E-B stores in Texas as the distribution area for the recalled product.
However, the announcement does not name individual stores or cities that received the affected bags. That means shoppers should not assume that every H-E-B location in Texas stocked the product, nor should they assume that a particular store did without store-level confirmation.
For consumers, the package information is more useful than trying to determine which locations may have received the salad.
If the product name, package size, date, and UPC match the recall, Taylor Farms’ instructions are to avoid consuming it and either dispose of it or return it for a full refund.
How to contact Taylor Farms
Customers with questions about the recall can contact Taylor Farms at 855-455-0098.
The company lists its recall contact hours as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST.
That gives shoppers a direct way to ask questions about the recalled product rather than relying on assumptions about other salad kits or other H-E-B products.
Don’t confuse this with the earlier lettuce recall
This recall is separate from the summer iceberg lettuce recall involving potential Cyclospora contamination.
The two situations should not be treated as one continuing recall. The current H-E-B salad-kit notice concerns possible undeclared soy and almonds in the specifically identified product.
The FDA concluded its earlier Cyclospora outbreak investigation on October 2, 2026, after the CDC declared that outbreak over on September 11. That background is separate from the Taylor Farms salad-kit recall announced October 27.
For shoppers checking products now, the most important information remains the exact salad kit and its package identifiers.
A simple package check can settle the question
The recall does not apply to every H-E-B salad. It concerns the H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit in a 13.4-ounce plastic bag, with a Best If Used By date of October 30, 2026, and UPC 041220300457.
Texas shoppers who find a bag matching those details should follow Taylor Farms’ instructions: do not consume it, and either dispose of it or return it to the store for a full refund.
The recall was announced October 27, 2026, and the company had reported no adverse reactions as of that date. For questions, Taylor Farms can be reached at 855-455-0098 during the listed weekday hours.
