Millions of eggs farmed in Texas have been implicated in a massive recall that affects consumers across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi. Midwest Poultry Services issued the recall, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shared on July 22.

Read on to learn more about what started the recall, how to determine whether your purchased eggs are affected and what to watch for if you’ve already consumed the recalled eggs. 

According to a company announcement, 1,589,577 dozens (or cartons) of white shell eggs and brown cage-free eggs are included in the recent Midwest Poultry Services recall. The recall singled out the Texas-produced eggs after Midwest Poultry Services identified a risk of salmonella, which can lead to health complications for consumers. 

Mayo Clinic describes salmonella as bacteria that can spread to people through contaminated food or water. Salmonella infection can sometimes have no symptoms, but many who are infected will experience diarrhea, stomach pain and cramps, fever, nausea and vomiting. It can be life-threatening if the infection spreads throughout the body. Children, older adults, and those with compromised immune systems may be at higher risk of severe symptoms. 

The eggs named in the recall were sold under several brand names, including Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire’s, Country Morning and Sunups. The eggs were distributed between June 6, 2026, and July 3, 2026. The eggs have best-by dates between July 20, 2026 and August 17, 2026. 

Recalled eggs will have distinct date-coding ink printed on the left or right sides of each carton. The codes to look for are P-1950 or 0840962, along with a Julian Date between 157 and 184. If your carton includes these codes, it is likely involved in the recall. For confirmation, a detailed list of recalled egg products is available on the FDA website.

If you have confirmed that your eggs were involved in the recall, do not consume them. Customers should return the eggs to the place of purchase or simply toss them out. If you have consumed the recalled eggs, monitor for symptoms closely and seek medical attention if complications persist, especially for those in higher-risk groups.
