Egg Recall Affects Oklahoma Stores Over Possible Salmonella Contamination

Egg Recall Affects Oklahoma Stores Over Possible Salmonella Contamination

A nationwide egg recall is affecting Oklahoma grocery stores after Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. voluntarily recalled more than 1.58 million cartons of shell eggs because of possible Salmonella Enteritidis contamination.

The eggs were distributed to retailers across six states, including Oklahoma, and health officials are urging consumers to check their refrigerators for affected cartons. While no illnesses have been linked to the recalled eggs so far, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns consumers not to eat the products if they match the recall information.

Egg Recall Includes Products Sold In Oklahoma

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recall involves 1,589,577 cartons of white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs produced by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P.

The eggs were packaged between June 6 and July 3, 2026, and carry sell-by or best-by dates ranging from July 20 through August 17, 2026.

The recalled eggs were sold under several brand names, including Country Morning and Sun-Ups, and were distributed to retailers in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and New Mexico.

Oklahoma stores supplied by Brookshire Grocery Co. are among those that may have received the affected eggs. Other retailers in the distribution area include Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, along with independent grocery markets.

Consumers can view the complete recall notice, product information and affected lot numbers through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Salmonella Can Cause Serious Illness

The recall was initiated after routine environmental testing detected the possible presence of Salmonella Enteritidis at two Texas poultry farms.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms typically begin six hours to six days after exposure and usually last several days.

Young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are at the highest risk of developing severe illness.

As of the recall announcement, no illnesses had been reported in connection with the recalled eggs.

Consumers Should Check Their Refrigerators

The FDA advises consumers not to eat the recalled eggs, even if they appear normal.

Anyone who purchased the affected products should either throw them away or return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

Consumers should also wash and sanitize any refrigerator shelves, drawers or containers that came into contact with the egg cartons to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Anyone with questions about whether their eggs are included in the recall can contact Midwest Poultry Services at 574-405-9531, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

Additional food safety guidance and the latest recall updates are available through the FDA Food Safety and Recalls website.
