200,000 pounds of recalled liquid eggs should be ‘thrown away,’ feds warn

More than 200,000 pounds of liquid egg products are being recalled due to the potential that they could be tainted with bleach.

Michigan-based Cargill Kitchen Solutions announced the recall of Egg Beaters and Bob Evans Better n’ Eggs due to potential contamination with sodium hypochlorite, or bleach, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.

The recalled products were produced on March 12 and March 13 and sold in retailers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and Texas. There is a possibility, however, the products were sold nationwide, FSIS said.

The recall affects 32-oz cartons of the following products:

  • Egg Beaters Original Liquid Egg Substitute (Use-by date: August 10, 2025)
  • Egg Beaters Cage-free Original Liquid Egg Substitute (Use-by date: August 9, 2025)
  • Egg Beaters Cage-free Original Frozen Egg Substitute, No Enjauladas Original Sustituto de Huevo Congelado (Use-by date: March, 07 2026)
  • Bob Evans Better’n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites (Use-by date: August 10, 2025).

Issues with the egg products were discovered through a tip about potential contamination. An investigation showed the risk of using the product was negligible, however, and the recall was given a lower Class III designation.

The eggs may still be in a buyer’s refrigerators or freezers, FSIS warned. People with them are advised to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
