What Is Being Recalled?

Midwest Poultry Services is voluntarily recalling 1,589,577 dozen white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs produced at two Texas farms because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. The company announcement was posted by the FDA on July 22, 2026.

Recalled retail cartons were sold under Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire's, Country Morning and Sunups labels. The recall also includes certain bulk foodservice eggs. Consumers should not eat matching eggs and may return them to the original place of purchase for a full refund.

How to Identify the Recalled Eggs

Check the code printed in date-coding ink on the side of the carton. A recalled carton will have: The retail list includes multiple sizes and grades of Kroger eggs; Simple Truth cage-free brown eggs; Brookshire's eggs; Country Morning eggs; and Sunups medium 2½-dozen cartons. Brand alone is not enough—match the plant code and date range too. No other Midwest Poultry products are included in the company's announcement.

Where Were the Eggs Sold?

The eggs were produced and distributed from Texas farms between June 6 and July 3, 2026. According to the recall notice, foodservice and retail shipments went to Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Kroger stores sold affected eggs in Texas and Louisiana, while Brookshire Grocery stores carried them in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi. Smaller outlets also received product.

What Does the FDA Outbreak Investigation Show?

In its July 24 update, the FDA said laboratory, epidemiological and traceback information identified the recalled Midwest Poultry eggs as a likely source of illnesses in an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak. The agency reported 98 illnesses in 17 states and 26 hospitalizations, with no deaths. The FDA also cautioned that Midwest Poultry did not account for every illness in the outbreak, so the numbers should not be treated as cases definitively caused by these specific cartons.

The company's initial announcement said it was not aware of any specific illnesses linked to its products. The later FDA investigation added evidence that certain farm samples matched the outbreak strain. That difference reflects the timing and scope of the two official updates.

What Should Consumers Do?

Do not eat matching eggs, even if they look or smell normal. Return the carton for a full refund or throw the eggs away in a way that prevents people or animals from eating them. Wash and disinfect refrigerator shelves, containers and other surfaces that may have contacted the eggs or carton.

Salmonella infection can cause diarrhea, fever, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems can face more serious illness. Anyone with symptoms or health concerns should contact a healthcare professional.
