Recently, a major food recall was issued that affected a large number of liquid egg products. This recall involves more than 200,000 pounds of liquid eggs that might be contaminated with sodium hypochlorite, a chemical used in cleaning products and commonly known as bleach.
The recall was announced by Cargill Kitchen Solutions after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) identified the risk. In total, 212,268 pounds of liquid egg items were pulled from circulation. These products were all produced in just two days—March 12 and 13, 2025.
Specifically, the recalled items include 32-ounce cartons labeled as “egg beaters ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” with a use-by date of August 10, 2025, and “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL LIQUID EGG SUBSTITUTE” with a use-by date of August 9, 2025.
There’s also a frozen version under the name “egg beaters CAGE-FREE ORIGINAL FROZEN EGG SUBSTITUTE” and the Spanish-labeled version “egg beaters NO ENJAULADAS ORIGINAL SUSTITUTO DE HUEVO CONGELADO” with a use-by date of March 7, 2026.
Another recalled product is “Bob Evans Better’n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites,” also with a use-by date of August 10, 2025. All of these cartons have the establishment number “G1804” printed on the package.
Initially, the products were sent to Ohio and Texas, but they were also shipped for commercial use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Iowa. According to FSIS, the products may have been sent to other states as well, meaning the contamination risk could be national.
Because of this, both consumers and businesses have been warned. If anyone has these products in their home, they should not eat them. Instead, they should throw them away or return them to the place they were bought.
Food service providers should also stop using them immediately to avoid putting customers at risk. Consumers can contact Chuck Miller at Cargill Kitchen Solutions by calling 1-844-419-1574 or emailing [email protected].
At the same time, several other recalls have been issued in the past few days. For example, Coca-Cola has recalled 10,000 cans of its Original Taste Coca-Cola sold in Illinois and Wisconsin. These cans may contain pieces of plastic. The FDA labeled this as a Class II recall, which means the risk is moderate, but the product could still cause harm if consumed.
Another recall involves coffee. Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA recalled bags of “Our Family Traverse Ground Coffee” in 15 states. The reason is a labeling mistake. Some bags of caffeinated coffee were incorrectly labeled as decaf. This could cause health problems for people who need to avoid caffeine. The recall was issued on March 13 and classified as a Class II recall on March 25 by the FDA.
In addition, Frito-Lay has recalled bags of Tostitos Cantina corn tortilla chips. These 13-ounce bags were sold in stores across 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Some of the bags contained nacho cheese chips, including milk, a major allergen not listed on the label.
The affected products have a “Guaranteed Fresh” date of May 20, 2025, and UPC codes 28400 or 52848. They were also sold online, including on Amazon. Frito-Lay reported that fewer than 1,300 bags were affected. While the chips are safe for people who do not have a milk allergy, those who are allergic should not eat them.
Moving away from food, Segway has recalled 220,000 electric scooters due to a risk of injury. The problem is with the folding mechanism on the Segway Ninebot Max G30P and Max G30LP KickScooters. If the handlebars or the stem fold while the scooter is in use, it can cause riders to fall. So far, there have been 68 reports of this defect and 20 injuries, including broken bones and cuts. The company offers a free repair kit, and users are told to stop riding the scooters immediately.
Another safety issue is that about 2,300 bottles of 100 mL of Benadryl liquid are being recalled. The reason is faulty child-resistant packaging. Federal law requires this type of product to be packaged in a way that prevents young children from opening it due to the risk of poisoning from its active ingredient, diphenhydramine. Consumers should keep the product out of reach of children and contact the parent company, Arsell, for a refund.
A smaller recall involves a tuna macaroni salad sold at the ShopRite in Clinton, New Jersey. The issue is that the salad, sold on March 27, was labeled simply as “macaroni salad” and did not list tuna on the label. Tuna is a known allergen, and failing to list it could be dangerous to some customers.
The affected salad was sold in 8- and 16-ounce containers with the PLU code 20599 and UPC 0022059900000 and a sell-by date of April 1. Anyone who bought it can return it for a refund or replacement.
In a separate incident, ShopRite of Laurel Hill in Clementon, New Jersey, recalled store-made ground beef, pork, and meatloaf mix sold on March 20. Due to a problem with the store’s meat grinder, these products may be contaminated with small pieces of plastic. The affected items all have a sell-by date of March 20. The store is contacting Price Plus card members who bought the products to inform them.
