Latest Updates
On July 22, 2026, Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. announced a voluntary recall of 1,589,577 dozen white shell and brown cage-free shell eggs produced at its Texas farms due to possible Salmonella Enteritidis contamination [1]. Brookshire’s-branded eggs are specifically named in the recall alongside Kroger, Simple Truth, Country Morning, and Sunups products. The FDA published the recall notice on July 23, 2026.
What Products Are Affected?
The recall covers Brookshire’s-branded white shell and brown cage-free shell eggs in medium, large, extra-large, and jumbo sizes. To determine whether a carton is included in the recall, consumers should check the left or right side of the carton for an identifying code printed in date-coding ink — not the printed labeling — and look for the following:
- Plant code P-1950 or 0840962
- Julian Date between 157 and 184
- Sell-by or best-by date between July 20, 2026 and August 17, 2026
Only cartons matching all of the above criteria are subject to the recall. The affected eggs were produced at Midwest Poultry Services farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3, 2026.
Where Were Brookshire’s Eggs Sold?
Brookshire’s-branded eggs from this recall were distributed more broadly than Kroger-branded products. The recalled Brookshire’s eggs were sold at Brookshire Grocery store locations across six states:
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- Arkansas
- Louisiana
- New Mexico
- Mississippi
Consumers in any of these states who purchased Brookshire’s eggs with matching plant codes and Julian Dates should check their cartons immediately.
What Is the Hazard?
The recalled eggs have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis, a bacterium capable of causing serious and sometimes fatal infections. Young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk of severe illness.
Symptoms typically appear within six hours to six days of consuming contaminated eggs and include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and cause more serious conditions including arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
What Caused the Recall?
Midwest Poultry Services identified the possible contamination through proactive environmental monitoring and root-cause analysis at two Texas farms. The company has halted all distribution of fresh eggs from its Texas facilities while the issue is addressed.
Incidents and Injuries
No confirmed illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled eggs as of the July 22, 2026 recall date. Because some recalled cartons may still be in consumers’ refrigerators, the FDA urges consumers to check their cartons immediately.
What Should Consumers Do?
Consumers who purchased Brookshire’s eggs should check the plant code and Julian Date printed in date-coding ink on the left or right side of the carton — not the brand labeling or sell-by date alone. Recalled eggs should not be consumed and should be returned to any Brookshire Grocery store location for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact Midwest Poultry Services at 260-768-4306.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
Consumers who purchased recalled Brookshire’s eggs and became ill with Salmonella may have significant legal options against Midwest Poultry Services and Brookshire Grocery. Contact an attorney promptly to have your case evaluated.
