Egg Recall Alert: Salmonella Concerns Spur Massive Withdrawal
Midwest Poultry Services said proactive testing found the issue, and no illnesses have been reported after the recall of 1,589,577 eggs.
- On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration announced that Midwest Poultry Services is recalling nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs produced in Texas due to potential Salmonella Enteritidis contamination.
- Proactive testing prompted the company to initiate the recall; no illnesses have been linked to the products as of the announcement, and Midwest Poultry Services has halted distribution from its Texas farms.
- Affected eggs were sold under Kroger, Simple Truth, and Country Morning at retailers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Consumers should check cartons for codes P-1950 or 0840962 with Julian Date between 157 and 184.
- Anyone who bought the affected eggs is urged to return products for a full refund and not consume them. Salmonella infection can cause diarrhea, fever, and cramps within 12 to 72 hours of eating contaminated food.
- This recall adds to existing food safety concerns as federal officials continue managing a separate parasitic outbreak involving contaminated lettuce, which has resulted in 4,173 confirmed cases across 41 states.
