If you shop at Walmart and love quick salad kits, you need to pay attention. Taylor Farms has just issued a recall of its Honey Balsamic Salad Kits after a serious mix-up was discovered. Instead of the expected balsamic vinaigrette, some kits were packed with Asian Sesame Ginger dressing.
Now, that might not sound like a big deal at first, but it actually is. The wrong dressing contains soy and sesame, two of the most common food allergens in the U.S. If you or someone in your family has a soy or sesame allergy, eating this salad kit could cause a dangerous reaction.
The recall was announced on August 26, 2025, and affects Walmart stores across 25 states.
Which products are included in the recall?
Right now, only one specific product is part of this recall:
- Product Name: Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kit
- Size: 8.3-ounce bags
- Code Dates: Packages that begin with “TFRS” (you can spot this in the upper right-hand corner)
- Best If Used By Dates: Through September 4, 2025
If you see these details on a salad kit in your fridge, it is part of the recall.
