Popular brands of liquid eggs are recalled over bleach contamination concerns
Briefly

Cargill Kitchen Solutions has initiated a recall of approximately 212,268 pounds of liquid egg substitutes under the Egg Beaters and Bob Evans brands due to potential contamination with sodium hypochlorite, a cleaning solution. The affected products were distributed across several states, with a possibility of nationwide distribution. Although Cargill reassures that the products do not pose significant health risks if consumed, the Food Safety and Inspection Service stresses that consumers should not eat them and advises disposal or return to the store. The recall stems from a precautionary measure after receiving a contamination tip, with no confirmed adverse reactions reported thus far.
