Egg Recall July 2026: Brands, Carton Codes and States to Check

Midwest Poultry Services is recalling 1,589,577 dozen eggs because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. That is nearly 19.1 million individual eggs, but the recall does not include every carton from the listed brands. The fastest way to know whether your eggs are affected is to check the plant code, Julian date, and sell-by or best-by date printed on the side of the carton.

The company announcement was posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on July 22, 2026. As of that announcement, Midwest Poultry Services said it was not aware of any specific illnesses linked to these products.

Egg recall July 2026: the numbers to check

Look on the left or right side of the carton for the ink-stamped code. A matching brand name by itself is not enough. The carton must also have one of the recalled identifying codes, a Julian date from 157 through 184, and a date in the affected range.

Which egg brands and carton sizes are recalled?

The FDA notice lists the following retail labels and sizes. The full notice also includes bulk foodservice cases.

• Kroger: Large 12-, 18-, and 60-count; Extra Large 12-count; Medium 12- and 30-count; and Jumbo 12-count cartons.
• Simple Truth cage-free brown eggs: Medium 12-count and Large 12-, 18-, and 24-count cartons.
• Brookshire’s: Large 6-, 12-, 18-, 36-, and 60-count; Extra Large 18-count; and Jumbo 12-count cartons.
• Country Morning: Large 12-, 18-, and 30-count; Extra Large 12-count; Medium 12-count; and Jumbo 12-count cartons.
• Sunups: Medium 30-count cartons.
• Foodservice eggs: Several bulk Grade A and Grade AA cases produced under code P-1950 are also included.

Because the FDA list includes individual UPCs for each package, use the official notice below if you need to compare a barcode or inspect the product photos.

Where were the recalled eggs sold?

The eggs were produced at two Texas farms between June 6 and July 3, 2026. The FDA notice says they were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

Consumers may have purchased them at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, at Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi, and at other smaller retail outlets. If you live outside those areas but your carton matches every recall code, contact the store or Midwest Poultry Services before eating the eggs.

What should you do with recalled eggs?

1. Do not eat them. Do not cook, serve, freeze, or give recalled eggs to another person.
2. Keep the carton long enough to document it. Photograph the brand, UPC, plant code, Julian date, and sell-by or best-by date.
3. Return the product. The FDA announcement directs consumers to return affected eggs to the original place of purchase for a full refund.
4. Clean anything that touched the eggs. Wash hands, utensils, refrigerator shelves, and surfaces with hot soapy water. Use a dishwasher for dishwasher-safe items.
5. Watch for symptoms. Contact a health professional if you are concerned about possible exposure or illness, especially for a young child, older adult, pregnant person, or someone with a weakened immune system.

What are common Salmonella symptoms?

According to public-health guidance, common symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Nausea and vomiting can also occur. Symptoms often begin within six hours to six days after exposure, and many people recover within four to seven days without treatment.

Some infections can be more serious. Seek medical advice for severe symptoms, signs of dehydration, symptoms that are not improving, or concerns involving someone at higher risk. This article is a consumer recall summary, not medical advice.
