Nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs were labeled “Class I,” which the agency defines as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
“Illness usually occurs within 12 to 72 hours after eating food that is contaminated with Salmonella, and the symptoms usually last four to seven days,” its website said, noting that children under 5, the elderly, and the immunocompromised were more likely to have severe reactions.

The eggs were produced at farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3, and the cartons show sell-by or best-by dates between July 20, 2026, and Aug. 17, 2026. They were distributed to Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
However, in a July 24 update from the FDA, the agency said that Midwest Poultry Services “does not account for all the illnesses in this outbreak.” It did not identify any additional known origins.
TIME reached out to Midwest Poultry Services and the FDA for comment.
The agency also said to “wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot, soapy water before and after handling raw eggs and raw egg-containing foods.”
Other salmonella and foodborne illness outbreaks in 2026
The number of people infected by a jalapeño-related outbreak rose to 345 on Friday, with 36 hospitalizations across 27 states.
The contamination also led to a recall on Aug. 9 by Taylor Farms—which had previously been connected to a multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak traced to fresh lettuce. The outbreak resulted in more than 9,400 cases, nearly 400 hospitalizations, and two deaths.
Taylor Farms sent products featuring jalapeños to over half of the states in the country, where they were sold by retailers including Kroger, Target, and Whole Foods.
In addition to the foodborne outbreaks, there have also been several salmonella outbreaks linked to live animals, including eight multistate outbreaks connected to backyard poultry and a smaller outbreak tied to children handling pet veiled chameleons. As of July 27, the backyard poultry outbreak was linked to 814 cases in 44 states.
