Texas Egg Farms Linked to a Growing Salmonella Outbreak
In July 2026, Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. voluntarily recalled 1,589,577 dozen white and brown cage-free shell eggs, more than 19 million eggs, because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.
The eggs were produced on two of the company’s farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3, 2026, then shipped to stores and food-service customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Days after the recall was announced, the CDC opened an outbreak investigation into illnesses tied to the eggs.
How Many People Have Gotten Sick?
As of July 24, 2026, the CDC has confirmed 98 Salmonella illnesses spread across 17 states, with 26 people hospitalized. No deaths have been reported, and health officials say the investigation is still open, which means the case count could climb.
What Is the Salmonella Risk?
Salmonella can lead to serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA. Symptoms may include:
- Fever
- Diarrhea, which may be bloody
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain
In rare cases, the infection can spread to the bloodstream and lead to severe complications, including infected aneurysms, endocarditis, and arthritis.
Which Eggs Are Affected?
The recalled eggs were sold under several brand names, in cartons ranging from 6 eggs to bulk trays. Affected brands include:
- Kroger — Large, Extra Large, Medium, and Jumbo
- Simple Truth Cage Free Brown — Medium and Large
- Brookshire’s — Large, Extra Large, and Jumbo
- Country Morning — Large, Extra Large, Medium, and Jumbo
- Sunups — Medium
- Bulk Grade A and Grade AA cartons
Only cartons with the plant code P-1950 or 0840962 and a Julian date between 157 and 184 are included. The sell-by or best-by dates fall between July 20 and August 17, 2026, printed in date-coding ink on the side of the carton.
Where Were the Eggs Sold in Texas?
Texas shoppers bought the recalled eggs at Kroger stores across the state and at Brookshire’s stores, the East Texas grocery chain based in Tyler. Brookshire Grocery Company also sells the eggs in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi.
If you have eggs from these brands at home, the FDA and the company recommend that you do not eat them and return them for a full refund. You can check the FDA recall notice for the full list of cartons and UPC codes.
How Did the Company Find the Problem?
Midwest Poultry Services said it caught the problem on its two Texas farms through routine environmental monitoring and a root cause analysis, not through reports of people getting sick. The company said it is not shipping fresh eggs from its Texas farms while it works through the issue.
Even though no illnesses have been confirmed, the recall notice urges consumers to take action:
“Consumers who purchased products associated with this recall are urged to avoid consumption and return the product to its original place of purchase for a full refund.”
Previous Egg Salmonella Cases
Egg recalls tied to Salmonella have become a recurring problem. In September 2019, Gravel Ridge Farms recalled cage-free eggs after an outbreak sickened at least 14 people across the Southeast.
More recently, large outbreaks have been linked to eggs from producers in California and the Midwest, sickening dozens of people at a time. You can read about other egg recalls and outbreaks on our Texas egg Salmonella page.
Unlike many of those cases, the Midwest Poultry Services recall was issued as a precaution, before anyone was reported sick.
Legal Help for Texans Sickened by Recalled Eggs
Eggs are a staple in nearly every Texas kitchen, and brands like Kroger, Simple Truth, and Brookshire’s line the shelves of many grocery stores. When a product that families eat every day is recalled for Salmonella, the people who trusted that product deserve answers.
Texans who got sick with Salmonella after eating recalled eggs may be entitled to compensation. A Texas food poisoning lawyer can review what happened and explain your options.
