Federal health officials have issued a major recall covering more than 1.5 million cartons of shell eggs following concerns over potential Salmonella contamination.
Authorities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have launched an investigation after 98 illnesses and 26 hospitalizations were reported across 17 states so far.
The source has been traced to a Texas egg producer from Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. after routine testing indicated the presence of the bacteria.
As a result, the company launched a recall for the eggs over safety fears.
The affected products were distributed to retail grocers and foodservice providers across multiple states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico.
The affected inventory includes both white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs sold in various packaging sizes, ranging from standard six-egg cartons to 60-egg bulk packs.

Consumers are being urged to inspect the egg cartons currently in their refrigerators for the following identifying details:
Brand Names: Sold under major retail labels including Kroger, Simple Truth, Brookshire’s, Cal-Maine Sunups, and Country Morning.
