Liquid eggs recalled on Javel’s concerns: NPR

Breakfast eaters are wary: thousands of liquid egg substitutes for two popular brands have been recalled on contamination problems.

The Michigan-based company, Cargill Kitchen Solutions, recalls some 212,268 pounds of products in the labels of the Beeg Bearers and Bob Evans, as they can contain a cleaning solution, the United States Food and Inspection Service announced last week.

He said the four types of liquid egg products have been sent for distribution in Ohio and Texas and for the use of food services in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa – although it is not an exhaustive list.

“It is possible that the products are distributed nationally,” he added.

Cargill spokesperson Kristen Saunders told NPR on Friday that the company had no update on the scope of the distribution. Cargill said in a statement that products “do not pose a health problem if they were consumed” and had been recalled “by abundance of prudence”.

FSIS said he had acted on a tip on potential contamination of products by sodium hypochlorite, the active ingredient of bleach.

The ingestion of concentrated laundering products could lead to permanent gastrointestinal problems or even death, while the laundering of households at low concentration can cause irritation, depending on the control of the poison. But the FSIS says that consumer health risks are relatively low.

“After carrying out an in -depth investigation and evaluation of the content of the cleaning solution, FSIS scientists concluded that the use of this product should not cause unfavorable consequences for health, or the risk is negligible, which has led to a class III reminder,” said the agency, adding that there was no confirmed report of negative reactions.

Despite this, he warns buyers not to consume potentially contaminated products. Instead, say the authorities, they should throw them away or return to the store.

The products recalled, which were produced on March 12 and 13, bear the establishment number “G1804” on their boxes. Here is the full list:

• 32-OZ. (2 lb
• 32-OZ. (2 lb.) Cardboard containing “original liquid egg -egg drummers without cage” and use by August 09, 2025.
• 32-OZ. (2 lb.) Cardboard containing “egg drummers from frozen eggs without cage” and “egg drummers without an outdoor Soutito of Huevo CONGELADO” and use by March 07, 2026.
• 32-OZ. (2 lb

The recall comes, because many Americans turn to egg substitutes due to the increase in prices for eggs and supermarket shortages.

Aviary flu – and efforts to contain it – have erased millions of birds since last year, making eggs more and more hot. Several national retailers began to limit egg purchases earlier this year, while restaurant channels like Denny’s and Waffle House added an additional egg dishes.

After reaching record heights in January, egg prices seem to be going down. The USDA reported in mid -March that the price of the national average of eggs – the cost that distributors have charged to retailers – had regularly decreased since February, to $ 4.15 per dozen.

Although this is perhaps good news, buyers may not want to put all the eggs in their basket for the moment – especially with the new series of prices from President Trump about to take effect.

As economists said last month, the speed at which the prices of the grocery store change depends on several factors, the state of flu birds in terms of consumer demand – which could see a brief hump this month for Easter and Passover.
