Millions of eggs have been removed from shops after a major recall was announced over fears they may have been contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis, a strain of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. Consumers across several US states have been urged to check their refrigerators after eggs linked to Texas farms were pulled from shelves.
The recall affects nearly 20 million individual eggs supplied by Midwest Poultry Services, which voluntarily withdrew the products after concerns were raised about possible Salmonella Enteritidis contamination. The affected eggs were produced at the company's Texas farms between 6 June and 3 July 2026, with sell-by date markings running from late July into August.
