FDA raises egg recall to Class I amid salmonella concerns across states
The US FDA upgraded a recall of 19 million eggs to Class I, warning that Salmonella contamination poses a serious health risk; about 100 people have fallen ill and 26 hospitalized across several states, with affected eggs sold under brands like Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire's, Cal‑Maine Sunups and Country Morning. Consumers should discard recalled eggs or return them for a refund if they have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20, 2026 and August 17, 2026.
