Major Recall Issued for High-Protein Breakfast Staple
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is announcing a major recall for liquid egg products.
According to the agency, Michigan-based Cargill Kitchen Solutions is recalling approximately 212,268 pounds of liquid egg products that "may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite.
The agency's Food Safety and Inspection Service shared that the liquid egg items were produced on March 12 and 13 from Egg Beaters' liquid egg substitute and Bob Evans' Better'n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites cartons. The products subject to recall bear establishment number "G1804" ink-jetted on the carton.
While the agency says "there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products," it is warning consumers and restaurants to immediately dispose these products and not to serve them to customers. There's concern that some products may already be in consumer or foodservice refrigerators or freezers.
"These items were shipped to distributor locations in Ohio and Texas and for foodservice use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa," a USDA statement read. "There is a possibility that the products were distributed nationwide."
The agency says the problem was discovered when it "received a tip about the potential contamination of these products."
The affected products have the following labels:
32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'egg beaters ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE' and USE BY AUG 10 2025.
32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE' and USE BY AUG 09 2025.

32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'Bob Evans Better'n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites' and USE BY AUG 10 recall comes amid soaring egg prices, which rose more than 10 percent in February, and 15.2 percent in January, prompting President Donald Trump to tell Americans to "shut up about egg prices."
