The agency published images to help identify the affected products. It also noted that the recalled eggs could still be in U.S. households.
“On Oct. 16, 2025, Kenz Henz of Santa Fe, Texas, recalled its 12-count packages of Kenz Henz brand Grade AA Large Pasture Raised eggs, which it received from Black Sheep Egg Company, because they could be contaminated with salmonella.
