More than 1.5 million dozen eggs are being recalled due to the risk of salmonella contamination. The affected products were produced by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. and have been distributed to grocery stores across several states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi.
Consumers can identify the recalled eggs by checking for plant codes P-1950 or 0840962, along with a three-digit date code ranging from 157 to 184 printed on the cartons.
The contamination issue was identified at two farms in Texas during routine environmental monitoring and subsequent investigations. As a precaution, Midwest Poultry Services has halted the distribution of fresh eggs from these locations.
Customers who have purchased the recalled eggs are advised not to consume them and should return the products to the store for a full refund.
Salmonella infection can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, which may develop within hours of consuming contaminated food. The illness usually lasts up to a week, but certain groups, including young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems, are at higher risk for severe complications that may require hospitalization.
