Millions of Eggs Recalled Over Salmonella Risk
25 Jul
Summary
- Nearly 1.6 million egg cartons recalled due to potential salmonella.
- Eggs from Texas farms sold in six states under various brands.
- Consumers urged not to eat recalled eggs; seek refunds.
A significant recall involving nearly 1.6 million cartons of eggs has been issued due to potential salmonella contamination. The affected eggs originated from Texas farms operated by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P.
These eggs were distributed to six states and sold under various brand names such as Kroger, Simple Truth, and Brookshire. Retailers include Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, and Brookshire Grocery stores across multiple southern states. Consumers can identify recalled eggs by checking brand names, identifying codes, UPCs, and sell-by dates, with photos available in the FDA's report.
As of July 22, Midwest Poultry Services reported no known adverse health effects connected to the recalled eggs. However, salmonella infections can lead to serious symptoms including diarrhea, cramps, and nausea, particularly for vulnerable populations. The FDA strongly recommends consumers discard or return affected eggs for a refund. For further questions, consumers can contact Midwest Poultry Services via email or phone.
