A Massive Amount of Egg Substitutes Have Been Recalled in 8 States
Eggs are so expensive these days, so many people are turning to egg substitutes as an alternative for all their breakfast and baking needs. Liquid egg substitutes have risen in popularity, but with four products now being recalled due to the potential presence of cleaning solution, customers may be second-guessing their back-up of choice.
Here's everything you need to know about the Bob Evans and Egg Beater Kitchen Solutions, parent company of Egg Beaters and Bob Evans, just across eight states (and potentially more). The recall is being enacted in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), who have issued the revocation as a Class III recall, which is the lowest level for a recall. "[It] involves a situation where use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences, or the risk is negligible." This means consuming the affected products comes with a very low risk.

Four egg substitutes are being recalled due to the potential presence of sodium hypochlorite, a cleaning solution. The revocation comes after the "FSIS received a tip about the potential contamination." Once alerted, the agency conducted an investigation with the help of scientists, concluding that the contents of the solution within the products should not cause negative health effects.
To positively identify whether you have one or more of the affected products, check the establishment number, located at the top edge of the carton next to the 'Best-by' date. If both the number and date match one of those listed above, the FSIS recommends not to consume the product.
Instead, throw it away or return it to the store where you purchased it. For additional questions about the recall, reach out to Chuck Miller at Cargill Kitchen Solutions, who can be reached at 1-844-419-1574 or media@
