Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. announced the voluntary recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shelled and brown cage-free eggs produced in Texas due to possible contamination with Salmonella Enteritidis, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported on Wednesday.
The FDA explained that Salmonella can cause serious and, in some cases, life-threatening infections in young children, the elderly, and people who are frail or have weakened immune systems. In healthy people, the infection usually causes fever, diarrhea, which may contain blood, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and lead to more serious illnesses, such as bloodstream infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
The eggs were produced and distributed from farms located in Texas between June 6 and July 3, 2026, with sell-by or best-by dates ranging from July 20 to Aug. 17, 2026.
The products were shipped to foodservice customers and retail stores in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. They were also available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi, as well as other smaller retail outlets.
The recall applies only to eggs with the codes P-1950 or 0840962
It also noted that it is not aware of any specific illnesses related to the consumption of the recalled eggs.
The company specified that the affected products can be identified by a code printed on one side of the carton. The recall applies only to eggs with the codes P-1950 or 0840962, accompanied by a Julian date between 157 and 184 printed on the side of the carton.
