FDA Reports Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Recalled Eggs Affecting 98 People Across 17 States
A salmonella outbreak has been linked to recalled eggs, affecting 98 individuals across 17 states since November 2025, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The outbreak has been particularly severe in Texas, where 73 people have fallen ill. The illnesses began between November 21, 2025, and June 30, 2026. While no deaths have been reported, 26 individuals have been hospitalized. The outbreak is believed to be connected to eggs produced by Midwest Poultry Services, which recalled nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs due to potential salmonella contamination. Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for recalled eggs and either discard them or return them to stores for a refund. Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, severe vomiting, dehydration, and stomach cramps, with most people recovering within a week. However, infections can be severe in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
