TL;DR

The FDA upgraded a major egg recall to Class I, signaling a high risk of serious health consequences from salmonella. The recall covers more than 1.5 million dozen eggs distributed by Midwest Poultry Services to six states under brands like Kroger and Simple Truth. The action follows at least 98 illnesses reported in 17 states and 26 hospitalizations. Recalled eggs have best-by dates July 20–Aug 17 and can be identified by carton codes listed on the FDA site; consumers should check their eggs and report symptoms if exposed.
