The reporting question: Which H-E-B salad kit should Texas shoppers check, and what should they do with a match?
Check the package first
The recall applies to H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit in a 13.4-ounce bag, with Best If Used By October 30, 2026 and UPC 041220300457. Taylor Farms says it went to H-E-B stores in Texas. Use the linked notice’s package information and photos; the archive salad photograph here is not the recalled item. [2]
The label is the issue
The concern is potentially undeclared soy and almonds. That matters particularly to people with the relevant allergies or sensitivities. It is a different warning from the cold-smoked sprats recall already reported today. [1]
No reported reaction does not clear the bag
Taylor Farms reported no adverse reactions when it issued the October 27 notice. The same notice still tells customers not to consume the recalled product. A lack of reported cases is not a personal safety test. [3] [4]
Use the recall route
Dispose of a matching product or take it back to the store for a full refund, as the notice directs. For product questions it lists (855) 455-0098, weekdays 8 a.m.–4 p.m. PST. Check the original notice for any subsequent expansion or correction. [4]
