Recall: Egg substitutes in Florida, California, other states might contain bleach
A food manufacturer yanked about 106 tons of liquid egg products in another not-food-in-your-food — or bleach-in-your-not-egg — recall Friday night.
Cargill Kitchen Solutions made four products for egg beaters and Bob Evans that “may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite.” Most people call sodium hypochlorite “bleach.” The USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service recall notice said the agency got a tip about the possible problem.
The good news: “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.”
Class III recalls are, the USDA says, “marginal risk” recalls.

That said, the products below were sent to distributors in Texas and Ohio and for use in food service in Florida, California, Illinois, Arizona, Colorado and Iowa. The recall notice states “There is a possibility that the products were distributed nationwide.”
Establishment No. “G1804” is on each carton. Each was sold in large 32-ounce containers, meaning they’re more likely to be in the refrigerators of restaurants than your home. Here’s what’s recalled.
▪ egg beaters Original Liquid Egg Substitute, use by date Aug. 10, 2025.
▪ egg beaters Cage-Free Original Liquid Egg Substitute, use by Aug. 9, 2025.
