A food supplier has recalled more than 200,000 pounds of liquid egg products out of fear they may have been contaminated with a cleaning solution.
Cargill Kitchen Solutions, a Michigan-based supplier, claims the products might contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite, according to a release from the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service last week.
The recalled items include the 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “egg beaters ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” and USE BY AUG 10 2025 and 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” and USE BY AUG 09 2025.
Also recalled is the 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL FROZEN EGG SUBSTITUTE” and “egg beaters NO ENJAULADAS ORIGINAL SUSTITUTO DE HUEVO CONGELADO” and USE BY MAR 07 2026.
Finally, the 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing “Bob Evans Better’n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites” and USE BY AUG 10 2025 has also been recalled.
The items were shipped to distributor locations in Ohio and Texas and for foodservice use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa, with a possibility that they were also distributed nationwide, the release stated. The products had the establishment number “G1804” on them.
The agency discovered the issue when a tip was sent to the Food Safety and Inspection Service about potential product contamination. The agency investigated and concluded that ingesting the products should not cause adverse health consequences and the risk is negligible. As a result, a Class III recall was issued.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consuming the products, but anyone concerned about developing an illness should contact a healthcare provider. Additionally, the products should not be consumed and foodservice locations should not serve them. They should either be thrown away or returned.
Some products could still be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers, the agency said.
The Independent has emailed Cargill Kitchen Solutions for comment. Anyone concerned about the products should contact the company at 1-844-419-1574 or their healthcare provider.
