The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has updated its investigation into a multistate salmonella outbreak linked to shell eggs produced in Texas. Nearly 100 people have been sickened as of the latest update, and authorities are probing whether additional, undetected contamination sources are involved. Midwest Poultry Services has voluntarily recalled about 1.6 million dozen eggs, or 19 million individual eggs, distributed to Kroger and Brookshire Grocery stores and foodservice providers across several southern states. Genetic testing from the Texas production sites matched the outbreak strain. The recalled eggs carry dates from July 20, 2026, to August 17, 2026, with specific plant and Julian codes.
