A massive amount of eggs, including some sold in Kroger stores, are being recalled because they may be contaminated with salmonella.
The voluntary recall specifically affects 1,589,577 dozen eggs produced in Texas, according to a recall notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration. Recalled eggs include white shell and cage-free brown shell eggs.
Eggs included in the recall were produced and distributed by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3, 2026, the notice explains. From there, they were sent to Kroger stores in Texas and Brookshire Grocery stores in six states, as well as smaller retailers.
Only egg cartons with certain best-by dates and product codes are included in the recall.
Midwest Poultry Services learned of the possible salmonella contamination issue “through proactive environmental monitoring practices and root cause analysis,” the notice says. Eggs that were produced on its two affected Texas farms are not being distributed right now.
The company is not aware of any illnesses related to the recall, the notice says.

Where Were the Recalled Eggs Sold?
The eggs included in this recall were distributed to food services and retailers, the notice says.

Why Are the Eggs Being Recalled?
These eggs are being voluntarily recalled because they may be contaminated with salmonella, a type of bacteria that causes foodborne illness.
Salmonella Symptoms
Salmonella is a type of bacteria that, if ingested through contaminated food or water, can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms.
Some people have no noticeable symptoms with a salmonella infection, the Mayo Clinic says. Most often, people have symptoms that appear between eight to 72 hours after eating the contaminated food. Generally, people are able to recover without treatment within about a week.
The most common symptoms of a salmonella infection include:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach cramps
- Fever
- Chills
- Headache
- Blood in the stool
While diarrhea related to salmonella can last up to 10 days, it might take up to a month for your normal bowel patterns to return, the Mayo Clinic explains.
Although most otherwise healthy adults are able to recover from a bout of salmonella within a week or so, the infection can cause serious complications for some.
Infants, young children, older adults and those with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk for complications from salmonella, including severe dehydration and an infection that spreads beyond the intestines.
What to Do If You Purchased Recalled Eggs
If you purchased any eggs included in this recall, you should not eat them. Instead, you should dispose of them or return them to where you purchased them for a full refund, the notice says.
