FDA Declares Class 1 Recall as 19 Million Eggs Pulled Over Salmonella Risk: See Full List

Key Points:

• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified a July egg recall as Class I, indicating a reasonable probability that consuming the eggs could cause serious health issues or death due to salmonella contamination.
• Midwest Poultry Services L.P. voluntarily recalled over 19 million cage-free eggs produced at two Texas farms, linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 98 people across 17 states, primarily in Texas.
• The recalled eggs, sold under brand names including Kroger, Brookshire’s, Simple Truth, and Country Morning, were distributed mainly in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, with potential wider distribution.
• Consumers are advised to check egg cartons for specific codes (P-1950 or 0840962) and best-by dates between July 20 and August 17, 2026, and to avoid consuming or to return any recalled eggs for a refund.
• Salmonella symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and fever, and while most healthy individuals recover within a week, infants, older adults, and immunocompromised persons are at higher risk of severe complications.
