Midwest Poultry Recalls Eggs Over Possible Salmonella Contamination

Company testing found possible Salmonella Enteritidis contamination, prompting a voluntary recall that halts distribution from two Texas farms.

Overview

  • The voluntary recall covers eggs produced June 6 through July 3, 2026, with best-before dates from July 20 to August 17 and plant codes P-1950 (0840962) and Julian packing dates 157–184 printed on cartons.
  • Midwest Poultry Services said it paused shipments from the two implicated Texas farms and notified the FDA after environmental monitoring and a root-cause analysis raised contamination concerns.
  • The FDA notice and company statements list affected retail brands and UPCs and show distribution to retailers and food-service customers in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and New Mexico.
  • No illnesses have been reported so far, and consumers are urged not to eat the eggs, to check carton codes and dates, and to return affected cartons to stores for a full refund.
  • News reports differ on the recalled quantity—described as about 1.6 million dozen eggs in some coverage and 1,589,577 eggs in others—an inconsistency likely due to unit or transcription differences that has not been clarified.
