Marler Clark Investigates Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Texas-Produced Eggs, Affecting 98 People
Marler Clark, a food safety law firm, is investigating a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak linked to shell eggs produced by Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. on two Texas farms. The outbreak has resulted in 98 confirmed illnesses across 17 states, with 73 cases occurring in Texas. The illnesses began in November 2025, but the recall of 1,589,577 dozen eggs, approximately 19 million eggs, was only initiated on July 22, 2026. These eggs were distributed to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, and sold in Kroger and Brookshire Grocery stores, among others. The FDA has confirmed that laboratory, epidemiologic, and traceback data point to these eggs as the source of the outbreak. The recalled eggs carry specific codes and dates, and consumers are advised to return them for a refund and sanitize any surfaces they contacted.
