The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has elevated a massive egg recall to Class I status, its highest risk designation, due to potential Salmonella Enteritidis contamination. The recall involves approximately 19 million individual eggs, equivalent to roughly 1.59 million dozen, produced by Midwest Poultry Services, LP in Texas.

The outbreak has been linked to 98 illnesses and 26 hospitalizations across 17 states, with the majority of cases reported in Texas. The affected products were distributed to grocery stores and food service operations in six states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Major retailers involved include Kroger and Brookshire’s, with brands such as Simple Truth, Country Morning, and Cal-Maine Sunups also affected.

Consumers are advised to check for best-by dates between July 20, 2026, and August 17, 2026. Specific identification markers include plant codes P-1950 or 0840962. The FDA recommends that anyone in possession of these eggs should not consume them and instead discard the product or return it to the point of purchase.
