Midwest Poultry Services is recalling 1.6 million eggs over concerns that they could be contaminated with salmonella, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
The recall covers white-shell and cage-free shell eggs produced at the company's Texas farms and distributed to retailers in six states.
Salmonella Enteritidis can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable populations such as young children or older adults. Symptoms in otherwise healthy people can include fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
The recalled eggs from Texas farms were produced and distributed to customers across six states between June 6 and July 3, according to the FDA's recall notice. Their sell-by or best-by dates are between July 20 and Aug. 17, and they were sold under multiple brand names, including Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire's, Country Morning and Sunups.
Here's where the recalled eggs were sold:
Arkansas: Brookshire Grocery stores
Louisiana: Kroger, Brookshire Grocery stores
Mississippi: Brookshire Grocery stores
New Mexico: Brookshire Grocery stores
Oklahoma: Brookshire Grocery stores
Texas: Kroger, Brookshire Grocery stores
The eggs were also sold at other smaller retail outlets, according to the FDA, which said that no other products for the poultry firm are part of the latest recall.
No illnesses have been reported related to the eggs, according to Midwest Poultry Services.
How did it uncover the issue?
The firm identified the issue through what it described as "proactive environmental monitoring practices and root cause analysis" on its two Texas farms. It has since paused the distribution of any fresh eggs produced at the farms.
Consumers should not eat the recalled eggs and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. A complete list of affected products is available in the FDA's recall notice.

There is always a salmonella risk with eggs. That’s why you wash your hands after handling uncooked eggs.
Is the bacteria inside the egg or outside on its shell? If outside, scrubbing and/or hard boiling should do the job, and we have another litigation induced recall.
At least it’s not nationwide like the lettuce thing.
Sounds like they have it contained......sounds like.
Plus there are weekly farmers markets that I can buy eggs, honey, chicken, beef, pork, lamb, produce including vegetables. lettuce, spinach, honey, maple syrup, etc. There are three within six miles of my house.
If you never had salmonella poisoning, be glad. It’s no joke.
I bought a box of eggs marked cage free chicken eggs. When I opened the box it was empty!
Ba dum bump!
Yes, I have 4 sources for farmer eggs, as well as meats and produce. Buy local. Support your local farmers markets.
Here’s where the recalled eggs were sold:
Arkansas: Brookshire Grocery stores
Louisiana: Kroger, Brookshire Grocery stores
Mississippi: Brookshire Grocery stores
New Mexico: Brookshire Grocery stores
Oklahoma: Brookshire Grocery stores
Texas: Kroger, Brookshire Grocery stores
Next they’ll be recalling gasoline over “tiger in your tank” risk.
I was shocked in Europe that in stores they do not refrigerate the eggs.
Always wash eggs BEFORE cracking them open.
And cook thoroughly. Salmonella can’t survive cooking temps
We had hens laying eggs everyday and never had a refrigerator during my growing up years in India. I don’t recall anyone getting sick. Eggs are well shielded by the shell.
They should wash their hands after handling them too.
I don't think Brookshire operates in New Mexico. We do have Smith's, which is under the Kroger umbrella.
No. They're shielded by the bloom. Wash that off the shell like they do for retail in the U.S. and your eggs are no longer shelf stable.
Well, the cage was FREE—of eggs!
Sounds like an empty gesture. Most have likely been consumed by now. I know I don’t keep eggs that have been sitting around for three to seven weeks.
Per AI, they are labeled John Brooks stores in New Mexico. Trust AI at your own risk, the John Brooks website says that the 4 stores in that chain are locally owned. https://www.johnbrookssupermarkets.com/about
Exactly this. The bloom protects the inside, and also makes for a longer shelf life.
I only wash my eggs when getting ready to use, and it’s just water and dawn for me. More important is to wash your hands - and this is where people get sick… customers or food service handling potentially contaminated food or using the restroom, not washing hands, then contaminating other surfaces or food.
Where I work, we have to wash their hands all the time. Touch your face, wash, touch your phone, wash, the list is long so we have a dedicated food safety manager whose job is to watch to make sure. I cringe to think what it looks like in the lettuce farms, etc.
