CINCINNATI, July 24 (DC Times Online) — Shoppers in several states are being told to check their egg cartons after Midwest Poultry Services recalled more than 1.5 million dozen eggs sold under Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire’s, Country Morning and Sunups labels because they may be contaminated with salmonella.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the voluntary recall covers 1,589,577 dozen white and brown cage-free shell eggs, including cartons sold in 6-, 18-, 24-, 30- and 60-count sizes and in bulk to food service customers.
According to the FDA notice, the eggs were produced at farms in Texas and distributed between June 6 and July 3. They were sold at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, Brookshire Grocery Co. stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi, and other retailers.
The recalled products carry the codes P-1950 or 0840962, Julian dates from 157 through 184, and best-by or sell-by dates from July 20 through Aug. 17.
Midwest Poultry Services said it was not aware of any illnesses tied to the recalled eggs, according to the FDA-posted company announcement.
