USDA Announces Recall on More Than 200,000 Pounds of Liquid Egg Products

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a recall on 212,268 pounds of liquid egg products produced by Cargill Kitchen Solutions in Michigan because the cartons may contain cleaning solution. The liquid eggs were found to have a cleaning solution made with sodium hypochlorite, which is commonly found in bleach.

The recall impacts multiple Egg Beaters products and one Bob Evans Better’n Eggs product that were sold at grocery stores and distributed to food service locations in eight states.

How to Identify the Recalled Liquid Eggs

The recalled liquid egg products were produced between March 12 and 13 and were available to purchase at stores in Ohio and Texas, as well as sent to food service locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Iowa—though FSIS says there is a possibility that the egg products were distributed nationwide. 

If you have liquid eggs in your fridge, you’ll want to look for the following information on the packaging to determine if they are part of the recall:

• 32-ounce Egg Beaters Original Liquid Egg Substitute with a use-by date of Aug. 10, 2025
• 32-ounce Egg Beaters Cage-Free Original Liquid Egg Substitute with a use-by date of Aug. 9, 2025
• 32-ounce Egg Beaters Cage-Free Original Frozen Egg Substitute with a use-by date of March 7, 2026
• 32-ounce Egg Beaters No Enjualadas Original Sustituto de Heuvo Congeldado with a use-by date of March 7, 2026
• 32-ounce Bob Evans Better’n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites with a use-by date of Aug. 10, 2025

The recalled liquid eggs will also have the establishment number "G1804" on the carton. You can find label images on the FSIS site.

What to Do if You Have the Recalled Products

Cargill Kitchen Solutions announced the recall after FSIS received a tip that the products were contaminated. FSIS inspected the liquid egg products and conducted an "investigation and thorough assessment of the contents of the cleaning solution." It determined that ingesting the cleaning products "should not cause adverse health consequences" and declared the recall as Class III.

Despite the fact that FSIS does not expect adverse health effects—and none have been reported—if you have the recalled Egg Beaters or Bob Evans products, you should not consume them. The liquid eggs should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. 

Should you have any health concerns or questions, FSIS urges you to contact your healthcare provider. For any questions regarding the recall, you can contact Cargill Kitchen Solutions directly at 1-844-419-1574 or media@cargill.com.
