Midwest Poultry Services Recalls 1.6 Million Shell Eggs Over Salmonella Risk

Pittsburgh, PA, July 23, 2026 —

Midwest Poultry Services is initiating a recall of approximately 1.6 million shell eggs. This action is being taken out of an abundance of caution due to the potential presence of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE).

The recalled eggs were produced during a specific period, from June 6 through July 3. These products were distributed to various customers, including foodservice companies and retail outlets, across a six-state region. The affected states are Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico.

The company has not specified the exact number of cases or brands affected by this recall, beyond the total quantity of 1.6 million shell eggs. Consumers who may have purchased these eggs are being advised on the appropriate steps to take.

Customers are recommended to return any recalled eggs to the location where they were purchased. A full refund will be provided upon return.

Salmonella Enteritidis is a bacterium that can cause foodborne illness. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. In some cases, particularly in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems, these infections can be severe and even life-threatening.

Midwest Poultry Services has not released further details regarding the origin of the potential contamination or the specific steps being taken to address the issue beyond the recall itself. The timeline for the resolution of this matter and any subsequent inspections or findings have not been provided.
