The recalled liquid eggs may be contaminated with a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite, which is a bleaching and disinfecting agent commonly found in household bleach.
FSIS said it discovered the issue after receiving a tip that the liquid eggs may be contaminated. Following an investigation, FSIS concluded that consuming the affected products should not cause adverse health effects or that the risk is negligible—resulting in the recall’s class 3 risk status.
To date, there have been no reports of adverse health events in connection to the recalled liquid eggs.
While FSIS does not expect the recalled liquid eggs to cause harm, the agency is still urging consumers and food service providers not to eat or serve the products. FSIS said the affected products should be thrown away or returned to where they were purchased.
