The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) is advising Louisianans that Midwest Poultry Services, L.P., has recalled 1,589,577 dozen shell eggs due to possible Salmonella contamination.
“Protecting Louisianans from foodborne illness is a core public health responsibility and one that LDH takes seriously,” said LDH Secretary Bruce D. Greenstein. “We encourage anyone who purchased these eggs to check the recall information carefully and discard or return affected products.”
To date, Louisiana has identified seven illnesses associated with this outbreak. Three people have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.
Recalled eggs were available to consumers at Kroger stores, Brookshire Grocery stores, and Brookshire Grocery-owned stores, including Super 1 Foods and Spring Market in Louisiana. Other stores may have also carried the recalled eggs.
The eggs are sold under multiple brand names, including Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire's, Cal-Maine, and Country Morning.
Only certain brown cage-free shell eggs and white shell eggs were included in the recall, including:
-Cartons with codes P-1950 or 0840962 with a Julian Date between 157 and 184 printed on the side;
-Products produced in Texas and distributed between June 6, 2026, and July 3, 2026; and
-Cartons with sell-by or best-by dates between July 20, 2026, and August 17, 2026.
