A U.S. company is recalling more than 19 million eggs, according to a notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration on July 22.
Midwest Poultry Services is recalling 1.5 million cartons each containing at least a dozen eggs “because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis,” the notice says.
The brown and white eggs were produced in Texas.
“Midwest Poultry Services identified the issue on its two Texas farms through proactive environmental monitoring practices and root cause analysis,” the company said. “Midwest Poultry Services is not distributing fresh eggs produced on its Texas farms at this time.”
Midwest Poultry Services did not respond to a request for more details on how it discerned that the eggs might be contaminated.
Infection with Salmonella bacteria can happen through multiple ways, including through contaminated food. Symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Outbreaks of the bacteria have been linked to a number of foods, including chicken, nut butters, and cucumbers.
The eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and were marked with “sell by” or “best by” dates ranging from July 20 to Aug. 17.
They were available for sale at Kroger stores in Louisiana and Texas and Brookshire Grocery stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
“Upon receiving notice of the recall, we immediately began reviewing our inventory and removing any potentially affected products from our stores,” Brookshire Grocery told The Epoch Times via email. “In addition, any replacement inventory and future shipments are being sourced from alternate facilities while this issue is addressed. All eggs currently available for purchase in our stores were sourced from a different production facility.”
Kroger did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.
The containers include cartons labeled as Kroger Large 12 eggs, Simple Truth Cage Free Large Brown 24 eggs, Brookshires Extra Large 18 Eggs, Country Morning Extra Large 12 Eggs, Sunups Medium 2 1/2 Dozen, and Grade A Medium Bulk X 30 DOZEN. A full list is below.
People who bought the eggs can return them to where they purchased them for a full refund.
