FDA Classifies 1.6 Million Dozen Cage-Free Egg Recall in Oklahoma Over Salmonella

Summary
Nearly 1.6 million dozen white and brown cage-free eggs sold through Brookshire and Kroger, including in Oklahoma, were classified by the FDA for recall after links to a salmonella outbreak.
The eggs were produced at a Texas farm and carry sell-by or best-by dates from July 20 through August 17; officials told consumers to throw them away.
Salmonella recalls can trigger the FDA's highest-risk Class I designation when exposure could cause serious illness or death.
The action follows another FDA egg recall tied to a multistate Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak that sickened 98 people in 17 states and hospitalized 26.
