The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a voluntary recall of 1,589,577 dozen eggs produced by Midwest Poultry Services in Texas. The recall covers white-shell and cage-free brown-shell eggs distributed to Kroger stores in Texas and Brookshire Grocery stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as other smaller retailers.
Only cartons bearing code P-1950 or 0840962, with best-by dates from July 20 to August 17, 2026, and Julian dates 157 to 184 are included. Affected sizes range from medium to jumbo and are sold under brand names such as Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire’s, Country Morning and Sunups.
Midwest Poultry Services said it learned of the possible contamination “through proactive environmental monitoring practices and root cause analysis.”
The company reports no known illnesses linked to the affected eggs and has halted distribution from the two Texas farms involved. Consumers who purchased the recalled eggs are advised not to consume them and to either discard them or return them for a refund.
