Over 19 million eggs are being recalled across six states due to possible salmonella contamination. Midwest Poultry Services announced the recall of approximately 1.59 million dozen eggs, produced at two Texas farms. These eggs were distributed between June 6 and July 3, 2026.
The recalled eggs, including white and brown shell varieties, were sold at various retailers such as Kroger and Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi. Consumers can identify recalled eggs by specific product codes (P-1950 or 0840962) and Julian dates between 157 and 184 on the carton, with best-by dates ranging from July 20 to August 17, 2026.
Midwest Poultry Services has suspended operations at its affected Texas farms. As of July 22, 2026, the company reported no illnesses associated with this recall.
