Update on 108,000 Eggs Recalled at the Nation’s Highest Risk Level

Raw, whole eggs in the shell typically last three to five weeks in the fridge—an advantage when you need easy protein, but a caution if you’ve purchased these labels within that timeframe.

Last month, Kenz Henz Grade AA Large Eggs were recalled in Texas for contamination with Salmonella—an organism known to cause “serious and sometimes fatal infections” in young children, immunocompromised individuals, and the elderly. 

A November 6 update to that recall shows that 16,400 dozen—or an individual total of 196,000 eggs—were impacted, and that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has assigned it the nation’s highest risk level. A list on the Kenz Henz’s website indicates that the products were sold at H-E-B, Kroger, Arlan Markets, and Food King. 

You can determine whether you have them by checking cartons for the following information:

• Packaged in a 12-count carton
• UPC code: 86949400030
• “Best By” dates: 10/11 to 10/14 and 10/16 to 10/17 stamped on the side
• Julian date: 241 (Aug 30) to 244 (Sep 2) and 246 (Sep 4) to 247 (Sep 5)

On the same day, news of another recall update broke, this one affecting 92,476 units of eggs in three states: California, Oregon and Connecticut. These are said to have been sold under multiple brands, including Big Y, Simple Truth, Stater Bros, That’s Smart, Lindsey’s Gold, and Walmart’s in-house brand, Marketside.

Like the previous recall, these Salmonella-contaminated eggs also received a Class I risk level, indicating that FDA experts have determined exposure to the product could “cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

It’s reported you can spot the affected items by looking for the following lot numbers and “Best By” dates:

• Big Y:
  •  Lot: P8631 237 – Best By: 10/23/2025
• Simple Truth
  • Lot: P8631 237 – Best By: 10/08/2025

These newest recalls are part of a recent wave of egg recalls across the United States, largely due to concerns about contamination by Salmonella Enteritidis and other strains of Salmonella. In June 2025, the FDA announced an outbreak investigation into “brown cage-free eggs and brown certified organic eggs were sold under multiple brand names at restaurants and retailers.” In October 2025, another massive recall affected 523,000 dozen Black Sheep Egg Company eggs, which were pulled from shelves in six states. 

If you believe you may have purchased any of the contaminated eggs, the FDA says consumers “are urged to return them to the place of purchase” or discard them.
