‘Egg beaters' and ‘Bob Evans' liquid eggs may contain cleaning solution, warns USDA
(WJW) – More than 200,000 pounds of liquid egg products are being recalled nationwide because they may contain a cleaning solution with a chemical commonly used for bleaching, warns the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS.)
The recall comes from the company, Cargill Kitchen Solutions, based in Lake Odessa, Michigan, and applies to four products sold under the labels/logos of 'Egg Beaters' and 'Bob Evans.' The recall states the products were shipped to distributor locations in Ohio and Texas and for food service use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Iowa.

According to FSIS, the liquid egg products, which were sold in 32 oz. cartons may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite. The National Library of Medicine states sodium hypochlorite is a chlorine compound often used as a 'disinfectant or a bleaching agent' and when dissolved in water it is 'commonly known as bleach.'
'The problem was discovered when FSIS received a tip about the potential contamination of these products. After conducting an investigation and thorough assessment of the contents of the cleaning solution, FSIS scientists concluded that use of this product should not cause adverse health consequences, or the risk is negligible, resulting in a Class III recall,' states the FSIS.
A Class III recall is the lowest risk classification issued by the FSIS. It's defined as a 'marginal risk.'
The FSIS said they do not expect any adverse health effects as a result of the potential contamination and so far said there have not been any confirmed reports of adverse reactions. However, anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider, states the FSIS.
