Those Liquid Eggs In Your Fridge May Have Just Been Recalled for Bleach
Liquid eggs are often seen as the ideal alternative to traditional egg cartons. Not only do they typically last longer, they can also provide a quick and easy breakfast for anyone short on time in the morning. Unfortunately, that carton of liquid eggs you recently bought could be facing a mass recall from the federal government, owing to potential bleach contamination from the eggs' production facility. In late March, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service ordered a recall of 212,268 pounds of liquid eggs manufactured in Cargill Kitchen Solutions. The eggs in question were produced on March 12 and March 13 of this year, and were shipped out to suppliers in Texas, Ohio, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa. The FSIS specifically believe the eggs may contain traces of a cleaning solution that feature sodium hypochlorite as a key ingredient. Among the brands affected by the recall are Bob Evans Better'n Eggs Made With Real Egg Whites and four varieties of Egg Beaters (Original Liquid Egg Substitute, Cage-Free Original Liquid Egg Substitute, Cage-Free Original Frozen Egg Substitute, and No Enjauladas Original Sustituto De Huevo Congelado). To see whether your liquid eggs are subject to recall, double-check your cartons to see if "G1804" is printed on the label. While these egg brands might contain traces of bleach, the FSIS has stated that there are no serious health risks associated with the product. "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," the agency said. Anyone who has purchased recalled liquid eggs is encouraged to contact Cargill Kitchen Solutions at 1-844-419-1574 or to email the company at media@

Two Liquid Egg Brands Recalled Over Bleach Contamination Risk
Thousands of pounds of liquid egg substitutes sold under two popular brand names have been recalled because of the potential risk of contamination with a cleaning solution, federal safety regulators said. Cargill Kitchen Solutions in Lake Odessa, Mich., recalled about 212,268 pounds of products under its Egg Beaters and Bob Evans labels because they may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach, the Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service said on March 28. The products were shipped for distribution in Ohio and Texas and for food service use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa. 'There is a possibility that the products were distributed nationwide,' the agency said. Cargill Kitchen Solutions did not immediately respond to inquiries on Sunday but in a telephone recording about the recall, the company said it was voluntary. 'We have issued this recall out of an abundance of caution because some of the product may contain undeclared sodium hypochlorite,' the company said. The Food Safety and Inspection Service said it had received a tip about the products' potential contamination with bleach, sometimes labeled sodium hypochlorite. '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,' the agency said. The agency also noted that the health risks for consumers were relatively low and that there had been no reports of adverse reactions. 'Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider,' the agency said. It did warn customers not to consume the potentially contaminated products and to throw them away or return them to the store where they purchased them. The liquid egg products were produced on March 12 and 13, 2025, and carry the label G1804 on their cartons, the agency said. The recall came as consumers are looking to egg alternatives because of rising prices and shortages at supermarkets nationwide. The recall also comes as other products may have been contaminated with the bird flu amid outbreaks in poultry and cows across the United States. Although egg prices have dropped recently, the anxiety about their cost continues, and many consumers have gotten creative at finding substitutes, such as liquid egg products.
