Taylor Farms Recalls H‑E‑B Backyard BBQ Salad Kit Over Undeclared Soy and Almonds
Taylor Farms of Dallas, Texas announced a recall of its H‑E‑B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit after discovering that the product may contain soy and tree nuts (almonds) that were not listed on the label. The recall was issued on October 27, 2026 and applies to kits sold in Texas with a “Best If Used By” date of October 30, 2026.
Why the recall matters
People with soy or almond allergies can experience serious reactions, including anaphylaxis, if they consume foods that contain these allergens without warning. The FDA requires manufacturers to list major allergens on packaging, and failure to do so can put consumers at risk and trigger a product recall.
- 1Check the package for a "Best If Used By" date of October 30, 2026.
- 2Do not eat the salad kit.
- 3Return it to the H‑E‑B store for a full refund or discard it safely.
- 4Call Taylor Farms at (855) 455‑0098 with any questions.

The recall covers the 13.4‑ounce plastic‑bagged salad kits sold at H‑E‑B stores throughout Texas. If you bought the kit, check the “Best If Used By” date on the package; any kit dated October 30, 2026 is part of the recall.
What consumers should do
Do not eat the salad kit. You can either throw it away or return it to the store for a full refund. If you have questions, call Taylor Farms at (855) 455‑0098 during business hours (Monday‑Friday, 8 a.m.‑4 p.m. PST) or email press@taylorfarms.com.
Legal context for everyday readers
A product recall is an administrative action, not a lawsuit. It does not imply that anyone has been sued or charged, but it does reflect the company’s responsibility under federal food‑safety law to protect consumers. While no injuries have been reported, the recall helps prevent potential legal claims for damages that could arise if an allergic reaction occurred.
When a lawyer might help
If you or a family member suffered an allergic reaction after consuming the recalled kit, consulting a personal‑injury attorney could be useful to assess any claim for compensation. Even without an injury, a lawyer can advise on your rights regarding product safety and consumer protection.
