FDA Class I Recall for Salmonella-Contaminated Eggs Remains Active with 'Best By' Date of August 17, 2026

A Class I recall, the FDA's most serious classification, remains active for approximately 1.59 million dozen shell eggs due to potential Salmonella Enteritidis contamination. The recalled eggs, produced by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. in Texas, were distributed under various brand names including Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire's, Cal-Maine, and Country Morning. Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators for eggs with 'Sell By' or 'Best By' dates ranging from July 20, 2026, through August 17, 2026. The FDA advises throwing away or returning any recalled eggs and thoroughly cleaning surfaces that may have come into contact with them. Salmonella infection symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, and can be severe, especially for young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
