Cargill Kitchen Solutions is recalling its popular Egg Beaters and Bob Evans Liquid Eggs due to the possible presence of an “unapproved substance.”

In a recall notice posted on the USDA website on March 28, FSIS stated that around 212,268 pounds of the liquid egg product are being recalled over concerns that they could contain a sodium hypochlorite cleaning solution, which is commonly known as bleach.

The recalled liquid eggs were produced on March 12 and 13, 2025. The products that are affected by the recall include: 

• 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton of “egg beaters ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” with USE BY AUG 10 2025.
• 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton of “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” with USE BY AUG 09 2025.
• 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton of “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL FROZEN EGG SUBSTITUTE” and “egg beaters NO ENJAULADAS ORIGINAL SUSTITUTO DE HUEVO CONGELADO” with USE BY date MAR 07 2026.
• 32-oz. (2-lb.) carton of “Bob Evans Better’n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites” and USE BY date AUG 10 2025.

The products also have the establishment number “G1804” ink-jetted on the side of the carton. They were shipped to Ohio and Texas distributors and food service locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Iowa. It’s also possible that the products were distributed nationwide in the United States. 

The statement explained that FSIS received a tip about the potential contamination and investigated to determine whether there was a risk to consumers. According to the FDA, it’s a Class II recall, which means the “use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.”

No reports of illness or injury are associated with consuming the recalled product.

The recall is still being done out of caution. Consumers with the affected products should not consume them and simply throw them out or return them to the store for a refund.
