On October 16, 2025, Kenz Henz announced a recall of its 12 count packages of Grade AA Large Pasture Raised eggs. This recall is due to possible Salmonella contamination.

The affected products were sold in retail stores in Houston, Texas. The products were packaged in a 12-count carton marked with UPC code 86949400030, a Julian date of 241 (Aug 30) to 244 (Sep 2) and 246 (Sep 4) to 247 (Sep5) with a best by date of 10/11 to 10/14 and 10/16 to 10/17 stamped on the side.

Salmonella can cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in healthy persons and can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and people with weakened immune systems.

To date, no illnesses have been reported in relation to this issue. Production of the products has been halted as the company continues to investigate the source of the problem. Consumers who have the affected products should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For any questions or concerns, consumers may contact 1-(409)-457-5934, Monday - Friday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
