If you were wondering whether the late July recall impacted your preferred type of eggs, new details are now available from an FDA update Wednesday.
On July 22, 1.6 million dozen eggs were recalled in an event impacting mainstream retail-sold brands, with Kroger labels among those that were listed.
An August 12 update from the FDA appears to clarify that all these eggs were sold at Kroger stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The 1,589,577 dozen recalled eggs included both brown and white varieties in multiple packaging configurations such as, but may not be limited to, 12-, 18-, and 30-count containers.
The recall occurred due to possible Salmonella Enteritidis, the FDA reports have stated. This week, the government agency assigned a Class I risk to the event, indicating “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
It was previously stated that the eggs were produced in Texas, though the August 12 update names the recalling firm as Indiana-based Midwest Poultry Services.
Wednesday’s FDA report offers details on identifying information: Code information is printed on the left or right sides of the carton. Codes P-1950 or 0840962 with a Julian Date between 157 and 184 and a Best By/Sell By date Between July 20 – August 17, 2026.
