H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kit Recall: Undeclared Soy & Almond Allergens

Recall alert: Taylor Farms has voluntarily recalled select H-E-B Backyard BBQ Chop Salad Kits (13.4 oz) sold in Texas because the enclosed dressing may contain undeclared soy and almonds. Shoppers with these allergies should stop using the product immediately, verify the UPC and “Best If Used By” date, and either return or safely discard the kit.

Why Was the H-E-B Salad Kit Recalled?

During internal quality checks, Taylor Farms determined that the dressing pouch shipped with some kits contains soy and almond ingredients not disclosed on the outer label. People who are allergic or highly sensitive to either allergen could experience a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the salad. As of the FDA notice dated October 27 2026, no illnesses have been reported.
