The invention discloses a recovery liquid for VBNC salmonella, a method for preparing the same and a reclaiming method. The recovery liquid consists of 1 portion of serum and 1 to 3 portions of sterile water which are mixed and stirred evenly and are filtered for sterilization through a millipore filter. The reclaiming method comprises the following steps: placing the salmonella in a VBNC into the recovery liquid and adopting an incremental temperature raising mode in pores of a thermal program control circulator, wherein the recovery temperature rise and an incubation time program of the thermal program control circulator are at a temperature of between 5 and 37 DEG C, and the incubation time is between 2 minutes and 1.5 hours; and then inoculating the salmonella in an SS liquid culture medium, and culturing the salmonella in a gas bath shaking table at a speed of between 200 and 220 revolutions per minute. The invention overcomes the defects that the prior art uses a plurality of materials, is inconvenient to get materials and the like; the invention only uses one material to recover the salmonella which is in the VBNC for nearly one year through procedural temperature rise; andfew materials are used and the operation is simple and convenient, the concentration of the recovered salmonella can reach 10<8> CFU per milliliter in 12 hours, and each recovery index (time, bacterial population and the like) is greatly improved compared with that of the prior art.
