The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to eat, sell or serve certain eggs recalled by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. as part of an ongoing multistate investigation into a ‘high risk’ Salmonella outbreak.
The recalled white shell eggs and brown cage-free eggs were sold under several brand names, including Country Morning, Cal-Maine Sunups, Brookshire’s, Simple Truth and Kroger. The eggs were sold in packages ranging from six to 60 eggs, with sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17, 2026.
According to the FDA, the affected eggs have identifying codes P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian dates ranging from 157 to 184 printed on the carton. Consumers should check the FDA’s recall information to determine whether their eggs are included.

Nearly 100 illnesses reported
The FDA and CDC are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections linked, in part, to the recalled eggs. As of the FDA's July 24 update, 98 illnesses, 26 hospitalizations and no deaths had been reported across 17 states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, California, New York and others.
The FDA said epidemiological, laboratory and traceback evidence identified the recalled Midwest Poultry Services eggs as a likely source of illnesses, although investigators are continuing to determine whether other sources may also be involved.
Midwest Poultry Services recalled approximately 1.59M dozen eggs produced at its Texas farms after certain samples tested positive for Salmonella, according to the FDA.
What consumers should do
Anyone who has recalled eggs in their refrigerator should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If eggs were removed from their original carton and consumers cannot determine whether they are part of the recall, the FDA recommends throwing them away.
Consumers should also thoroughly clean and sanitize surfaces, containers and utensils that may have come into contact with the recalled eggs to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Hands, utensils and surfaces should be washed with hot, soapy water before and after handling raw eggs and foods containing raw eggs.
What are the symptoms of Salmonella?
Salmonella infection can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, with symptoms typically beginning 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and lasting about four to seven days. Young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are at greater risk of developing severe illness.
Anyone experiencing symptoms after potentially consuming recalled eggs should contact a healthcare provider. The investigation remains ongoing, and the FDA says it will provide additional information as it becomes available.
