Atlanta, GA, July 23, 2026 —
A large-scale recall of millions of eggs has been initiated due to potential salmonella contamination, posing a risk to consumers across several states.
The recall encompasses both white-shell and brown cage-free egg varieties. These eggs were produced at a facility in Texas. The distribution network for the affected products includes food service and retail customers located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Mississippi.

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals typically experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can lead to more severe outcomes, such as arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscular aches, and urinary tract infections.
The company that produced the eggs has not been named in the provided summary. The specific steps taken following the discovery of potential contamination, such as whether the recall was voluntary or initiated by a regulatory agency, were not detailed. Further information regarding the exact number of recalled eggs or the duration of the recall beyond the specified best-by dates was not immediately available.
