Midwest Poultry Services issued an egg recall on Wednesday for 1,589,577 white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs after Salmonella fears. The company said people who bought the eggs should not eat them and should return them for a full refund.
The recall covers eggs produced between June 6, 2026, and July 3, 2026, with sell-by or best-by dates from July 20, 2026, through August 17, 2026. Only cartons with codes P-1950 or 0840962 and a Julian Date between 157 and 184 fall under the action.
Midwest Poultry Services Wednesday recall
Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. said the eggs were sold under the Kroger, Simple Truth, and Country Morning names, among others. The products reached retail customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, including Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana and Brookshire Grocery Stores in all the listed states.
The company said the issue was found through proactive testing. It also said no illnesses have been reported and that it is not distributing fresh eggs from its farms in Texas at this time.
Kroger and Brookshire Grocery Stores and sales
For shoppers, the practical step is simple: check cartons for the listed codes and Julian Date range before using the eggs. If the carton matches, the eggs should go back for a refund rather than into a meal, a step that matters most for households that may still have the products in refrigerators or pantry storage.
The recall spans more than 1.5 million eggs across six states, but the carton code and date range narrow the affected products to a specific slice of production. Most people infected with Salmonella develop fever, diarrhea, or abdominal pains within six hours to six days after eating the food.
The FDA and Salmonella
The FDA was the source of the information on the recall. The unanswered operational question is what specific test result or finding led from proactive testing to this withdrawal, since that detail was not included with the recall notice.
