Salmonella outbreak tied to eggs has sickened 98 people since November
The recall covers nearly 19 million eggs as investigators probe whether Midwest Poultry Services products are tied to a multistate outbreak.
- On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, Midwest Poultry Services recalled nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs from its Texas farms after the FDA linked them to a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak affecting 98 people across 17 states.
- Health officials identified the eggs as a likely source after environmental samples from the Texas farms matched the outbreak strain through whole genome sequencing; 73 of the 98 confirmed cases occurred in Texas alone.
- Consumers should check cartons for plant codes P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian dates 157–184; affected eggs carry "sell by" or "best by" dates through August 17, 2026, sold at Kroger and Brookshire Grocery stores.
- The FDA advises consumers to discard recalled eggs or return them for a refund and sanitize any surfaces that contacted the products; retailers have been urged to remove affected items from shelves immediately.
- While the FDA investigation continues, officials warn that confirmed cases could rise as additional reports are reviewed; symptoms typically develop within six hours to six days after exposure, and those experiencing illness should seek medical advice.
