Over 200,000 pounds of liquid egg products recalled due to potential cleaning solution contamination
More than 200,000 pounds of liquid egg products have been recalled because they may contain cleaning solution. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on March 28 that Cargill Kitchen Solutions recalled approximately 212,268 pounds of liquid egg products over possible contamination with sodium hypochlorite, the main ingredient in bleach. Products include 32-ounce cartons of Egg Beaters branded Original Liquid Egg Substitute, Cage-Free Original Liquid Egg Substitute and Cage-Free Original Frozen Egg Substitute, along with Bob Evans branded Better'n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites Liquid Egg Substitute. The recalled items include establishment number 'G1804' ink-jetted on the carton and were produced on March 12 and March 13. They were shipped to distributors in Ohio and Texas and 'for foodservice use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa,' FSIS said, adding that there's a 'possibility that the products were distributed nationwide.' 'The problem was discovered when FSIS received a tip about the potential contamination of these products,' the agency explained. '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.' According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a Class III recall involves products that are 'not likely to cause adverse health consequences' following exposure, consumption or use. At this time, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the recalled products, per FSIS. Consumers who purchased the products should not consume them. Instead, they should throw the products away or return them to the place of purchase, FSIS urged. Food service locations are also urged to not serve the recalled products.

More than 212,000 pounds pounds of liquid egg products — including the Egg Beaters and Bob Evans brands — have been recalled over a potential contamination of cleaning solution, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.

While the FSIS indicated that the products were shipped to Ohio and Texas, as well as 'for food service use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa,' they may have been distributed nationwide. The agency urged consumers and food service locations to throw away or return any affected products, while noting the risk of 'adverse health consequences' was minimal. 'Although there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider,' the FSIS said in a statement.

A Michigan producer of liquid egg products is voluntary recalling some products because of possible contamination from a cleaning solution. Lake Odessa's Cargill Kitchen Solutions is recalling more than 200,000 pounds of fresh and frozen liquid egg products per a U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) alert. According to the alert, the products may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as a bleaching agent.

The FSIS Class III recall lists the recall as having marginal risk. While there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions by consuming the products, the FSIS said those 'concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.'

The recall comes from Cargill Kitchen Solutions, based in Lake Odessa, Michigan, and applies to four products sold under the labels or logos of 'Egg Beaters' and 'Bob Evans.'

Frito-Lay chips sold in Ohio recalled The liquid egg products, which were sold in 32-ounce cartons, may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite, according to FSIS. The National Library of Medicine states sodium hypochlorite is a chlorine compound often used as a 'disinfectant or a bleaching agent' and is 'commonly known as bleach' when dissolved in water.
