Mass egg recall tied to salmonella outbreak across 17 states

A nationwide egg recall affects nearly 1.6 million cartons (about 19 million eggs) from Midwest Poultry Services after a salmonella enteritidis outbreak sickened 98 people in 17 states, with Texas most affected. The eggs, produced in Texas and distributed to retailers and foodservice across several states, carry codes P-1950 or 0840962 and sell-by dates between July 20 and Aug 17, 2026. Consumers should check their eggs and discard or return recalled products; retailers and restaurants were advised not to serve them. Health officials are continuing to investigate other possible sources as a separate cyclospora outbreak also affects the region.
