As food prices soar and trust in federal regulators plummets, another contamination scare hits America’s food supply.

A major egg recall is rattling consumers already stretched thin by record-high grocery prices and growing doubts about Washington’s ability to protect America’s food supply.

The Black Sheep Egg Company has pulled multiple batches of its free-range large Grade A brown eggs after federal inspectors uncovered salmonella contamination inside its Arkansas processing facility. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 40 environmental samples tested positive for salmonella — including strains known to cause serious illness in humans.

While the FDA has not yet confirmed any illnesses connected to this recall, officials are urging consumers, retailers, and distributors to immediately stop selling or serving the affected products.

The recall covers 12-count and 18-count cartons stamped with “best by” dates between August 22 and October 31, 2025. Black Sheep Egg Company shipped the eggs across Arkansas and Missouri, and some batches may have been repackaged or redistributed to other states, increasing the potential risk nationwide.

Adding to the fallout, a Texas-based partner, Kenz Henz, has also issued a recall for its Grade AA Large Pasture-Raised Eggs, which were sold in Houston-area retail stores. Both companies have warned that additional products could be affected as testing continues.


Conservative Perspective:

At a time when food prices keep climbing, many Americans feel Washington’s priorities are completely misplaced. Under President Trump, regulators were pushed to ensure accountability, transparency, and strong oversight to keep families safe. But today, bureaucratic mismanagement has become routine — and everyday consumers are left wondering why they keep paying more for less safety.

The ongoing recall isn’t just about eggs; it’s about trust — and whether America’s leaders are focused on protecting citizens or playing politics.
