Midwest Poultry Services voluntarily recalls over 1.5 million dozen eggs across six states due to potential salmonella contamination.

Midwest Poultry Services has initiated a voluntary recall of 1,589,577 dozen white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs due to potential salmonella contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that the affected products were produced at two farms in Texas and distributed between June 6 and July 3. The recall impacts retail and food service customers in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi. Consumers can identify the affected cartons by the codes P-1950 or 840962 and a Julian Date between 157 and 184. The products were sold under several prominent brands, including Kroger, Brookshire's, Country Morning, Simple Truth, and Sunups. While no illnesses have been reported yet, officials noted that salmonella can cause serious infections, particularly in children and the elderly. Midwest Poultry Services stated that the company is currently investigating the source of the contamination and pasteurizing eggs to ensure food safety. Consumers who purchased the recalled items should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
