Food Recalls This Week: Current FDA and USDA Recall List

Updated July 27, 2026: the newest FDA food recall notices in the July 21–27 window cover Midwest Poultry Services shell eggs, two Fresh & Ready spicy breakfast burritos, and one Peter Rabbit Organics fruit-puree product. A Taylor Fresh Foods iceberg-lettuce recall announced July 17 also remains important because listed dates run through August 3 and FDA’s Cyclospora investigation is ongoing. We found no USDA FSIS notice dated July 21–27 on the agency list checked for this update.

Do not decide from the brand name alone. Match the product and package size, UPC or barcode, plant or lot code, date code, and distribution area against the original notice. This is a time-stamped digest, not a substitute for the live FDA recall list or USDA FSIS recalls and public health alerts.

Current food recall list for July 21–27, 2026

The table below is designed for a first check. A product is affected only when all identifiers required by its notice match. Open the linked notice before discarding, returning, or requesting a remedy.

Midwest Poultry Services shell eggs

Midwest Poultry Services, L.P. announced a voluntary recall on July 22 of white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs produced in Texas. The products were distributed from Texas farms between June 6 and July 3, with sell-by or best-by dates from July 20 through August 17, 2026. The FDA notice identifies retail and bulk packages containing 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, or 60 eggs under Country Morning, Cal-Maine Sunups, Brookshire’s, Simple Truth, and Kroger names.

The carton must show identifying code P-1950 or 0840962—some product-table rows render the latter as 840962—together with a Julian date from 157 through 184. The complete FDA egg recall table supplies the exact UPC for each brand and carton size. A code, brand, or date by itself is not a complete match.

FDA’s separate July 24 outbreak update reported 98 people infected with the outbreak strain across 17 states, including 26 hospitalizations and no deaths. The agency says the recalled eggs are a likely source of some illnesses, while the producer does not account for every illness and the investigation continues. This is more precise than saying all 98 cases came from one recalled carton.

Consumers with a matching carton should not eat the eggs. FDA advises returning them to the place of purchase for a refund or throwing them away and disinfecting surfaces or containers that may have touched them. The recall notice lists 574-405-9531 and [email protected] for company questions.

Fresh & Ready spicy breakfast burritos

Fresh & Ready Foods recalled a limited number of two products after sausage was found in food labeled vegetarian, creating an undeclared-soy risk. The affected products are the Sprig & Sprout Spicy Breakfast Burrito, 8.3 oz (234 g), and Fresh and Ready Spicy Breakfast Burrito, 8.2 oz (232 g). Both have UPC 1 00001 00029 7 and Fresh Thru date 07/20/26.

The products were made at the Charlotte, North Carolina facility from July 9 through July 12 and distributed through grab-and-go markets and vending machines in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. FDA says no other Fresh & Ready facility is affected. The company reported two consumer complaints and no illness or allergic reaction as of its announcement.

The official burrito recall notice tells purchasers not to consume the affected products and to discard any remainder. Consumers seeking a full refund can use [email protected] or 1-855-424-8390 during the hours listed in the notice.

Peter Rabbit Organics fruit-puree pouches

PT Organics Limited recalled select Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics Banana & Strawberry Fruit Puree, 4 oz (113 g) pouches because a packaging defect could leave a strand of soft, food-grade plastic inside. The product was sold through Kroger, Meijer, and Target stores nationwide between March 6 and July 13, 2026.

A valid match requires three checks: barcode 8 15367 01078 0, lane number 4 printed on the rear right-hand seam, and one of these best-before dates: 01/19/2027, 01/20/2027, 03/17/2027, 03/18/2027, 05/14/2027, or 05/15/2027. FDA says no other flavors, dates, or Pumpkin Tree products are included and no injuries had been reported.

Do not eat or feed a matching pouch to another person. The FDA-posted company announcement directs consumers to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase.

Ongoing food recalls and outbreaks still relevant this week

“New this week” and “still relevant this week” are different. Products announced earlier can remain in homes, especially when date codes extend into August or the following year. Two ongoing FDA outbreak investigations deserve continued attention in this update.

Taylor Fresh Foods iceberg lettuce and Cyclospora

Taylor Farms de Mexico announced on July 17 that it was removing iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the U.S. market. The retail portion includes Marketside Iceberg Salad in 12-oz and 24-oz packages with Best if Used By dates from July 18 through August 3, and Marketside Shredded Lettuce in 8-oz and 16-oz packages with dates from July 18 through August 3, 2026. The foodservice portion uses multiple short brand codes and bulk-case descriptions; see our detailed 2026 lettuce recall product guide or the official FDA table.

FDA’s July 24 update reported 1,947 illnesses, 98 hospitalizations, and no deaths across nine states in the outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce. A border sample initially described as positive was re-reviewed and declared a false positive, but FDA says that result did not cancel the recall or change the epidemiological and traceback basis for the investigation. The status remains ongoing.

Consumers with listed lettuce should discard it immediately and not consume it. FDA also advises cleaning and sanitizing containers and surfaces the recalled lettuce touched. Full refunds are available at the location of purchase.

Shell-egg outbreak investigation

The egg outbreak is also ongoing. FDA’s July 24 update separates what is known from what remains under investigation: the recalled Midwest Poultry eggs are a likely source of illnesses, but may not explain every case. Case counts can change, so use the FDA egg outbreak page for the newest count and geographic scope.

USDA FSIS recalls and public health alerts this week

USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service is the source to check for meat, poultry, and processed egg products. In the official index and federal food-safety relay checked on July 27, we found no FSIS recall or public health alert dated July 21–27, 2026. That does not mean every older FSIS action is closed or that no notice can appear after this article is updated.

The USDA National Agricultural Library food-safety page displayed a July 3 beef-jerky public health alert as its newest FSIS item, followed by June alerts. Always open the live FSIS list before acting on meat or poultry information. A public health alert is also not automatically a recall: FSIS may issue one when product is no longer for sale or when a recall was not requested.

How to match a food recall correctly

1. Start with the exact product name and size. Do not stop at a shared brand.
2. Find the UPC or barcode. Preserve leading zeros and compare every digit.
3. Read the lot, plant, lane, or establishment code. Egg cartons may use plant and Julian codes; meat and poultry packaging may use an establishment number.
4. Match the date field named in the notice. “Best By,” “Sell By,” “Fresh Thru,” and “Use By” are not interchangeable labels.
5. Confirm purchase or distribution geography. Some recalls cover only certain states or retailers.
6. Open the original notice. Lists can expand, remedies can change, and an alert can be retracted.

If one required field does not match, do not broaden the recall on your own. If a code is hard to read or the notice omits a field, contact the company using information from the official notice. A search with no result also does not prove a product is safe.

What to do with a matching product

Stop eating, serving, or sharing it. Keep the package long enough to photograph the relevant codes and preserve a receipt if the remedy calls for it. Then follow the exact instructions in the notice: some products should be discarded, some returned, and others handled through a company contact. Do not give recalled food to another person or donate it.

Clean surfaces when the official outbreak guidance tells you to, particularly after handling recalled eggs or produce. Anyone who develops symptoms described in the notice should contact a health-care professional and explain the product and date involved. A recall page is not a diagnosis.

You can also search Product Recall Checker, browse the latest recall records, or view the food category. Confirm any result at the linked government or company source.

Food recall FAQ

Is this a complete list of every food recall?

No. It is a dated digest of the newest FDA food notices and the USDA FSIS list checked for July 21–27, plus ongoing outbreak-related recalls that are still practical to check. FDA enforcement reports and state actions can contain additional records.

Does a matching brand mean my food is recalled?

No. A reliable match normally requires the product, package size, date, and one or more codes. For the Peter Rabbit pouch, for example, the barcode, lane number, and best-before date must all match.

Are FDA and USDA recall lists the same?

No. FDA covers most packaged foods and shell eggs, while USDA FSIS covers meat, poultry, and processed egg products. Some events cross agency lines when an FDA-regulated ingredient is used in an FSIS-regulated food.

Is Product Recall Checker an official government service?

No. Product Recall Checker is an independent website that organizes public recall information. It does not replace FDA, USDA FSIS, a manufacturer, retailer, or the original recall notice.
