Notable recalls this period
There were no recalls in Q2 2026. However, the brand's recent history shows a pattern of Listeria-related recalls spanning several years. To understand whether Herold Salads, Inc. is safe for your household, review the full recall history, which documents the scope and timing of past contamination events.
Trend analysis
Herold Salads, Inc. has not issued a recall in the past 12 months. This represents a break from the brand's earlier pattern, when recalls were more frequent. A year without recalls is encouraging and suggests the company may have made operational changes to reduce contamination risk.
However, one year of clean records does not erase the brand's history. The 18 Class I recalls on file—all tied to a single, serious hazard—show that Herold Salads, Inc. has struggled with food safety controls in the past. Shoppers should monitor the brand going forward and stay alert to any new recalls, rather than assume the problem is permanently solved.
What it means for shoppers
If you buy Herold Salads, Inc. products, you are not in immediate danger based on current data. The brand has had no recalls in the past year. That said, the D safety grade reflects genuine concern: the brand's history of repeated Listeria contamination is serious and well-documented.
You have three reasonable options:
Continue buying, but stay vigilant. Check product labels for lot numbers and dates. If a recall is announced, cross-check your purchases immediately. Get personalized alerts so you learn about recalls as soon as they happen.
Switch to a brand with a stronger safety record. Many salad brands have fewer recalls and higher safety grades. If you have young children, pregnant family members, or elderly relatives in your home, this may be the safer choice.
Buy Herold Salads, Inc. products only for low-risk household members. If you live alone or only with healthy adults, your risk from a potential Listeria exposure is lower than for vulnerable groups.
Talk to your doctor if you have questions about which foods are safest for your specific situation.
