Poultry company Midwest Poultry Services has recalled nearly 1.6 million cartons of eggs due to possible salmonella contamination. This was reported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The poultry company recalled nearly 1.6 million cartons of white- and brown-shell eggs produced in Texas because they may potentially be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. The products were produced and distributed from June 6 to July 3, 2026, in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Mississippi.

Midwest Poultry Services has no information about any illnesses caused by its products, the FDA said. The regulator added that the company has currently suspended sales of eggs produced at its farms in Texas.

Salmonella Enteritidis is a microorganism that can live both on the surface of eggs and inside them, and can cause food poisoning. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, salmonella infection can lead to more serious illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
