Approximately 212,000 pounds of liquid egg products produced March 12 and 13, were recalled for potential contamination with a cleaning solution containing bleach, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The issue was identified following a tip received by FSIS. Following an investigation and an assessment of the cleaning solution's contents, FSIS scientists determined that the use of the product poses negligible risk of adverse health effects, leading to a Class III recall.
