More than 1.5 million dozen eggs have been recalled across multiple states after testing identified potential Salmonella Enteritidis contamination, prompting federal health officials to warn consumers not to eat affected products.
Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. voluntarily recalled 1,589,577 dozen white shell eggs and brown cage-free eggs produced at its Texas facilities. The recall affects eggs distributed between June 6 and July 3 with sell-by or best-by dates ranging from July 20 through Aug. 17.
The recalled eggs reached grocery stores, foodservice customers and smaller retailers in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and New Mexico. Affected products were sold under several familiar brands, including Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire’s, Country Morning and Sunups.
The recall comes after company testing detected the bacteria at two Texas farms. Midwest Poultry Services halted distribution from the affected facilities and redirected eggs to a pasteurization plant designed to eliminate harmful pathogens.
