A massive egg recall has been upgraded to the highest-risk classification due to salmonella concerns. The recall involves over 1.5 million dozen cage-free eggs, including both white and brown eggs. This classification indicates a reasonable possibility of serious health consequences or even death from exposure.

The eggs were distributed by Midwest Poultry Services and shipped to retailers and foodservice locations in several states. At least 98 people have been sickened, with 26 hospitalized. The eggs were sold under various brands, including Kroger and Simple Truth.

Further details about the recall are available, including a list of affected states and brands.
