Egg Recall Update: FDA Issues Highest Risk Warning For 38 Million Eggs
The FDA warns that consuming potentially contaminated eggs could cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.”
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has upgraded an egg recall to its highest level, Class I, warning the public that consuming the potentially contaminated eggs could lead to serious health issues or even death. Midwest Poultry Services initially issued the recall in late July for 1,589,577 dozen eggs, both white shell and brown cage-free, produced between June 6 and July 3 at farms in Texas.
The eggs carry sell-by or best-by dates ranging from July 20, 2026, to August 17, 2026, and are identified by the codes P-1950 or 0840962, with Julian Dates between 157-184. Retailers and food-service customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have received the recalled eggs, including those sold at Kroger stores, Brookshire Grocery locations, and other outlets.
Symptoms of Salmonella Enteritidis infection include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, and while most recover within a week, vulnerable populations may experience more severe symptoms requiring medical treatment or hospitalization. The CDC has reported 98 cases of salmonella infections linked to the egg recall across 17 states, though the true number of affected individuals may be significantly higher.
