Summary
At least 98 people in 17 states have been sickened and 26 hospitalized in a salmonella outbreak tied to Midwest Poultry Services eggs recalled on July 22; no deaths have been reported.
Nearly 1.6 million dozen white and brown cage-free eggs from Texas were recalled after the company said proactive environmental monitoring and root-cause analysis flagged potential salmonella enteritidis contamination.
The recalled eggs carry plant codes P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian dates 157 through 184, with best-by or sell-by dates running through Aug. 17, meaning some could still be in consumers' refrigerators.
Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana and Brookshire stores across six states sold the eggs, which were also shipped to foodservice and retailers in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
Midwest Poultry said it stopped distributing fresh eggs from its Texas farms as of July 22, while the FDA and CDC continue tracking illnesses reported between Nov. 21, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
