The producer is Cargill Kitchen Solutions, based in Lake Odessa, Michigan.
The liquid egg items were produced on March 12 and 13, 2025.

“There is a possibility that the products were distributed nationwide,” the recall notice says.
FSIS received a tip about the potential contamination of these products, the service said in its recall notice.
“Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.”
“After conducting an investigation and thorough assessment of the contents of the cleaning solution, FSIS scientists concluded that use of this product should not cause adverse health consequences, or the risk is negligible, resulting in a Class III recall.“
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions thus far due to consumption of these products, the announcement also indicated.
A Class III recall is considered to be of “marginal risk.”

However, “anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.”
It’s possible, according to FSIS, that some consumers or food service providers have some of this product in their refrigerators or freezers.
