What Should You Do If You Have These Eggs at Home?

The FDA warned that Salmonella Enteritidis can cause serious—and in some cases fatal—infections.

Those at the greatest risk include young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems or other vulnerable health conditions.

In otherwise healthy individuals, salmonella infection may cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.

As of now, Midwest Poultry Services says no illnesses linked to the recalled eggs have been reported.

The company explained that it identified the issue through proactive environmental monitoring and conducted additional testing to determine the source of the contamination at its two Texas farms.

As a precaution, the company has suspended the distribution of fresh eggs from those facilities.

The FDA advises consumers not to eat any eggs included in the recall.

Instead, customers should return the affected products to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

The agency also reminded consumers that detailed information—including the complete list of affected products and lot numbers—is available in the official FDA recall notice.
