Midwest Poultry Services L.P. is recalling nearly 1.6 million cartons of eggs, approximately 19 million eggs, due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall affects several brands, including Kroger, Brookshire's, and Cal-Maine, and spans six states: Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico.
The eggs, produced at Texas farms, were distributed to foodservice and retail customers, with sell-by dates ranging from July 20, 2026, to August 17, 2026. Consumers can identify the recalled products by looking for the identifying code numbers P-1950 or 0840962 with a Julian Date between 157 and 184 printed on the cartons.3
Health officials have linked the outbreak to 98 reported illnesses, with 26 hospitalizations. Most cases, 73, are concentrated in Texas. While Midwest Poultry Services is identified as a common source, officials note it does not account for all illnesses in this outbreak.
Consumers, restaurants, and retailers are advised to thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with the recalled eggs. Symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhea (which may be bloody), fever, and abdominal cramps.4
“The recalled eggs, sold in sizes from six to 60 count, can be identified by codes P-1950 or 0840962 with Julian dates between 157 and 184. The FDA recommends that consumers, restaurants, and retailers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas discard the eggs and sanitize surfaces.”
