The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded a nationwide recall involving eggs sold under the Black Sheep Egg Company and Kenz Henz brands, warning consumers about a potential salmonella contamination. According to the agency, the affected products—produced by the Arkansas-based Black Sheep Egg Company and repackaged under the Kenz Henz label for distribution in the Houston, Texas, area—may expose consumers to serious health risks.

Reports indicate that over 6 million eggs could be impacted. The recall includes 12- and 18-count cartons of “Free Range Large Grade A Brown Eggs” bearing “best by” dates between August 22 and October 31 printed on the carton sides. The FDA noted that these eggs may have been distributed beyond Texas, and the recall could expand further as new information emerges.

Earlier this month, Kenz Henz also recalled 12-count cartons of “Grade AA Large Pasture Raised Eggs,” sourced from Black Sheep Egg Company. Federal inspectors traced the contamination risk to a Black Sheep Egg Company processing facility, where conditions during an inspection raised concerns about the spread of salmonella.

Consumers, retailers, and food service establishments are instructed to immediately stop using, selling, or serving the recalled eggs. The FDA further advises that all surfaces, containers, or utensils that may have come into contact with the eggs be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to prevent further contamination.

In the worst-case scenario, ingestion of salmonella-contaminated eggs can cause severe gastrointestinal illness, including diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain, and may lead to life-threatening complications for young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions.
