Midwest Poultry Services recalls 1.6 million dozen eggs in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana over salmonella risk

Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. announced a recall of roughly 1.59 million dozen shell eggs after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration flagged a potential Salmonella Enteritidis contamination. The affected products include both white shell eggs and brown cage-free eggs produced at the company's Texas farms and were distributed between June 6 and July 3, 2026. Cartons carry "sell by" or "best by" dates from July 20 through August 17, 2026, and are marked with the codes P-1950 or 0840962 and a Julian date between 157 and 184.

The eggs were sold to retail and food-service customers, appearing in Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, Brookshire Grocery stores in several states, and other smaller retailers. Consumers who have the recalled cartons are advised not to consume the eggs and to return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. Midwest Poultry Services said no confirmed illnesses have been reported linked to the recalled eggs.

Health officials note that salmonella infections can cause fever, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and may be more severe for young children, older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems.
