Nearly 20 Million Eggs Recalled in Six States Due to Salmonella Risk

Midwest Poultry Services has initiated a large-scale recall affecting nearly 20 million eggs across six U.S. states due to potential Salmonella contamination.

The company is voluntarily recalling 1,589,577 dozen white shell and brown cage-free shell eggs. The eggs were distributed from Texas farms between June 6 and July 3, 2026. "Sell-by" or "best-by" dates on the affected cartons range from July 20 to August 17.

Retail and food-service customers who received these eggs in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana are urged to check their refrigerators. Products available at Kroger stores in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Mississippi are particularly impacted. The recall also extends to smaller retailers.

Consumers should not rely solely on brand names to identify recalled eggs. Affected cartons can be identified by plant codes P-1950 or 0840962, and Julian dates between 157 and 184, printed on the side of the package. As of July 22, the Food and Drug Administration reported no illnesses linked to these products.

Consumers are advised to dispose of the recalled eggs or return them to their place of purchase for a refund.
