Taylor Farms has recalled H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kits due to potentially containing undeclared allergens, like soy and almonds.
The recall was issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 27, 2026. The 13.4oz salad kits were recalled and reportedly sent to H-E-B stores throughout Texas.
Those with a soy or tree nut allergy (including almonds) could suffer a severe allergic reaction after consuming the product. No allergic reactions have been reported.
Customers who have recently purchased the salad kit are advised to not consume the salad kit and to dispose of or return to an H-E-B store for a full refund.
Which H-E-B Salad Kit Was Recalled?
The recall involved H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kits sold in 13.4-ounce plastic bags. Taylor Farms issued the recall because the product could contain soy and almonds that were not declared on its packaging.
Customers can check the following details to determine whether they have the affected salad kit:
- Product: H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit
- Package size: 13.4 ounces
- UPC: 041220300457
- Best If Used By date: October 30, 2026
- Distribution area: H-E-B stores in Texas
The UPC and Best If Used By date are important for identifying the recalled product. Customers should compare both details with the information on their packaging before deciding whether their salad kit is affected.
The recall notice specifically identified the Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit with these product details. It did not name other H-E-B salad varieties as part of the recall.
Undeclared Soy and Almonds Could Cause Allergic Reactions
The recall was issued because soy and almonds were not declared on the product label. This could put people with allergies or sensitivities to either ingredient at risk if they unknowingly consumed the salad.
Food labels help consumers identify ingredients that may trigger allergic reactions. When an allergen is not properly declared, people who depend on packaging information to avoid certain foods may accidentally eat something that could harm them.
Taylor Farms warned that consuming the affected product could cause a serious adverse reaction in people with soy or almond allergies or sensitivities.
The company said no adverse reactions had been reported as of October 27, 2026. However, the absence of reported reactions did not change the recall advice. Customers with the affected product were still urged not to eat it.
What Should Customers Do?
Customers who purchased the recalled H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit should not consume it. Taylor Farms advised them to throw away the product or return it to an H-E-B store for a full refund.
People checking their refrigerators or recent grocery purchases should compare the UPC and Best If Used By date with the details listed in the recall announcement. The warning applies to the specifically identified product distributed to H-E-B stores in Texas.
Customers who have questions about the recall can contact Taylor Farms at (855) 455-0098. The consumer helpline is available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific time.
Where Can Customers Find More Information?
The FDA published the recall announcement to inform consumers about the undeclared allergens and identify the affected salad kit. Its notice also includes product photographs that can help customers recognize the packaging.
Consumers can consult the official FDA recall notice for the full product details and company contact information. Anyone who believes they purchased the affected salad kit should follow the company’s instructions rather than consume it.
