FSIS did not request a recall because the product is no longer for sale, but consumers may still have some in their refrigerators or freezers. According to the FSIS release, an inspection of equipment at Texas-based Cargill Meat Solutions found damage that "may have contaminated the carnitas products with pieces of metal."

Liquid egg products recalled due to possible cleaning solution contamination
A recall is underway for a liquid egg product because it might contain a cleaning solution chemical. It's unclear if the product was sold in Washington state. But the U.S. Agriculture Department advises you should check your refrigerator for a liquid egg product sold under the brand names 'Egg Beaters' and 'Bob Evans Better'n Eggs'. The products are made by Cargill Kitchen Solutions of Lake Odessa, Michigan. The recall involves more than 212,000 lbs. of liquid egg products. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Friday the product could contain sodium hypochlorite, which is used in a cleaning solution. The liquid egg items were produced on March 12 and 13, 2025. Here is a list of the products that are involved in the recall: 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'egg beaters ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE' with a 'Use By' date of AUG 10 2025. 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE' with a 'Use By' date of AUG 09 2025. 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL FROZEN EGG SUBSTITUTE' and 'egg beaters NO ENJAULADAS ORIGINAL SUSTITUTO DE HUEVO CONGELADO' with a 'Use By' date of MAR 07 2026. 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton containing 'Bob Evans Better'n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites' with a 'Use By' date of AUG 10 2025. Each of these products can also be identified with an establishment number that is ink-jetted on the carton that reads, 'G1804.' The company believes the products were shipped to distributors in Ohio and Texas. They were then sent to supermarkets and food outlets in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa. But according to the USDA's FSIS, it is also possible some of the products were shipped around the rest of the country. Food safety experts say the possible contamination was discovered when FSIS received a tip about the problem. Officials conducted an investigation and did a thorough assessment of the contents of the cleaning solution. Government scientists have come to the conclusion that using the products should not cause adverse health consequences. Since they believe the health risk is 'negligible,' the FSIS issued what is called a 'Class III' recall. Authorities say, so far, they have not received any confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products. But they emphasize that anyone who is concerned about an illness should check with a healthcare provider. Officials say it's possible the contaminated liquid egg product could be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. They say, if a product is found, it should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. If you have questions about food safety, you can call a USDA toll-free Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854). You can also send questions by email, to MPHotline@ If you'd like to report a concern about any meat, poultry, or egg product, the online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day, at

Popular Grocer Recalls Frozen Chicken Nuggets
Wegmans issued a recall of family-sized frozen chicken nuggets. The recall occurred after consumers complained of finding bone fragments in the meat. The United States Department of Agriculture warned the public of the possible contamination. A chicken nugget lover's worst nightmare is to bite into something other than juicy, savory meat. And that's exactly what happened to customers whose experience led to a Wegmans chicken nugget recall. The grocer pulled family packs of Wegmans Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat from freezers after consumers complained of discovering bone fragments in the meat. The product is no longer on shelves, but could be stocked in peoples' freezers, which is why both Wegmans and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shared a warning.

The packaging also has a USDA mark of inspection with the establishment number P-33944, as pictured . The recall impacted Wegmans retailers in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The USDA was notified of the food safety issue after Wegmans received multiple complaints from consumers. Wegmans and the USDA advise customers who purchased the chicken nuggets to not eat them and either throw them away or return the product for a full refund. At the time of publication, there have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of the nuggets, the USDA said. However, anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider.
