Description
Nearly 19 million individual eggs just got pulled from store shelves, and if you've shopped at Kroger or Brookshire's recently, you need to check your fridge right now. This FDA egg recall covers 1,589,577 dozen cartons of white shell and brown cage-free eggs produced by Midwest Poultry Services in Texas, with best buy dates between July 20th and August 17th, 2026. The concern is salmonella infection, specifically Salmonella enteritidis. Most people think of salmonella as a raw chicken problem, but eggs are one of the most common sources too. Salmonella symptoms hit anywhere from eight to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases bloody stools. Here's the public health detail that surprises most people: if you take antacids for heartburn or GERD, you may actually be at higher risk because those medications reduce the stomach acid that normally fights off salmonella. If you have eggs in your refrigerator now, check those cartons. Don't risk it.
