Midwest Poultry Services recalls 19 million eggs amid salmonella outbreak

Midwest Poultry Services salmonella outbreak egg recall FDA 98 cases

Midwest Poultry Services, an Indiana‑based producer, has voluntarily recalled nearly 1.6 million cartons (about 19 million eggs) of white shell and brown cage‑free eggs after potential contamination with Salmonella Enteritidis was detected at its two Texas farms. The recall, announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), covers eggs with sell‑by dates from 20 July to 17 August 2026 and product codes P‑1950 or 0840962. The eggs were distributed to retailers in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and New Mexico, including Kroger and Brookshire Grocery stores.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports 98 confirmed salmonella infections across 17 states, of which 26 people have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported. While the recalled eggs are considered a likely source, officials note that other contaminated products may also be involved. The FDA advises consumers to discard the eggs or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.

Health officials continue to monitor the situation and encourage anyone who consumed the recalled eggs and develops symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, vomiting or abdominal cramps to seek medical care.
