The FDA is upgrading an egg recall issued last month to its highest risk level, warning the public that exposure to the eggs could pose serious health risks.
On Wednesday, the FDA classified the recall as a Class I, indicating “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
The eggs were produced in Texas and sold in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi.

Midwest Poultry Services first issued the recall of 1.6 million brown and white eggs in late July.
According to Midwest Poultry’s recall announcement, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6, 2026 and July 3, 2026, and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20, 2026 and August 17, 2026.
