More than 1.5 million dozen shell eggs sold in six states have been voluntarily recalled over potential\u00a0salmonella contamination, federal regulators announced Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said\u00a0Midwest Poultry Services initiated the voluntary recall, affecting\u00a01,589,577 dozen cartons of white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs. <\/p>\n

Officials said the recalled products were sold under several brands, including\u00a0Kroger, Brookshire’s, Country Morning, Simple Truth, and Sunups, as well as various bulk Grade A and Grade AA eggs. <\/p>\n

The eggs were ultimately distributed to retail and food service customers in\u00a0Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi, as well as other smaller retail outlets, according to the FDA. <\/p>\n

The affected products were produced at two farms in Texas, according to the FDA.<\/p>\n

Officials said the issue was discovered during routine environmental testing. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the eggs. <\/p>\n

“When we learned of a possible issue with egg safety, we began diverting eggs to a breaking plant where they would be pasteurized to kill any foodborne pathogens,” Midwest Poultry Services told FOX Business in a statement on Thursday. <\/p>\n

“We also began a robust internal investigation and initiated testing protocols to identify potential sources of SE,” the company added, referring to Salmonella Enteritidis. <\/p>\n

“Producing safe, quality food for those who eat our eggs is our highest priority, and this voluntary investigation and recall demonstrates that commitment.”<\/p>\n

The recall includes various carton sizes and egg counts.<\/p>\n

Consumers can identify affected products by the codes printed on the side of the carton. The eggs were packed and distributed between\u00a0June 6 and July 3, with sell-by or best-by dates ranging from\u00a0July 20 through Aug. 17.<\/p>\n

The affected cartons also bear plant code\u00a0P-1950 or\u00a0840962 with a Julian Date between 157 and 184.<\/p>\n

Consumers who purchased the recalled eggs should not eat them and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.<\/p>\n

According to the FDA, salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults, frail individuals and people with weakened immune systems. <\/p>\n

Healthy people infected with salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea that may be bloody, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. <\/p>\n

In rare and severe cases, the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause more serious illnesses, including arterial infections, infected aneurysms, endocarditis and arthritis. <\/p>\n
