ALERT: Millions Of Eggs Recalled Due To Potential Contamination

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Wednesday a recall by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. that includes “1,589,577 dozen white shell eggs and brown cage free shell eggs produced in Texas.”

The eggs were recalled due to potential salmonella contamination.

“The eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6, 2026 and July 3, 2026, with sell by or best by dates between July 20, 2026 and August 17, 2026. The eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana,” the FDA stated.

“They were available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi, and other smaller retail outlets. No other Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. products are part of this recall. Midwest Poultry Services L.P. is not aware of any specific illnesses linked to its products,” it continued.

According to Fast Company, the recall equates to “just over 19 million eggs in total.”

FDA just issued a massive recall on 19 million eggs for potential salmonella contamination.

No illnesses have been reported related to the eggs, according to Midwest Poultry Services.

The firm identified the issue through what it described as “proactive environmental monitoring practices and root cause analysis” on its two Texas farms. It has since paused the distribution of any fresh eggs produced at the farms.

Fast Company noted:

Salmonella Enteritidis is one of the thousands of types of Salmonella, and it is often associated with eggs.

According to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), eggs can become infected with Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in a few different ways.

For instance, the egg can become infected while it is still being formed in the hen, before the shell has formed; during the egg-laying process, where SE contaminates the shell itself; or after egg-laying, where SE can enter the pores in the laid egg.

In other words, Salmonella Enteritidis can infect the egg’s shell on the outside, or yolk and egg whites on the inside.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a Salmonella infection usually presents with the following symptoms:

• Watery diarrhea that might have blood or mucus
• Stomach cramps that can be severe

Additional symptoms may include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite

While anyone can get a Salmonella infection, certain individuals have an increased risk of infection, including children younger than 5, adults over the age of 65, adults over the age of 50 who have underlying medical problems, and people with weakened immune systems.
