The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has upgraded an egg recall to its highest risk classification following a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak.

The eggs produced by Midwest Poultry Services in Texas were originally recalled in late July, as nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs were placed under potential salmonella contamination in multiple states, including Oklahoma.

The recall is now Class I, which is considered “a situation in which there is reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” per the FDA. At least 98 people were sick and 26 were hospitalized across 17 states between Nov. 21, 2025, and June 30.
